Entry of AI in Indian Railways
Indian Railways is being rapidly made hi-tech, so that better facilities can be provided to the passengers. Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said that AI system is being embedded in the trains by Indian Railways, due to which the seat availability and ticket cancellation process in the train is being improved. With the help of AI, information is being given in the IRCTC app about the percentage of seat availability. Railways has changed the earlier rule of seats assigned for each station.
