The proposed working groups are expected to examine areas where AI can support government functions and improve the delivery of services to citizens. The focus on multilingual applications could also help expand the accessibility of digital public services across Karnataka's linguistically diverse population.
The discussions further focused on expanding AI skilling across the state through Claude certifications for students, professionals and enterprises. Such initiatives are aimed at helping individuals and organisations build practical capabilities in artificial intelligence and prepare for the growing demand for AI-related skills.
Kharge also said the meeting covered opportunities for startups and developers in Karnataka to leverage Anthropic's AI tools. Discussions were also held on the company's AI for Science and Claude for Education programmes, indicating potential areas of collaboration in research and learning.
The minister said Anthropic's expertise and experience would be valuable as Karnataka continues efforts to build a globally competitive AI ecosystem.
The proposed collaboration comes as governments and technology companies increasingly explore the use of artificial intelligence in public administration, education and research.
For Karnataka, which is home to Bengaluru's large technology and startup ecosystem, the initiative could provide a framework for identifying practical AI applications while also strengthening skills and innovation capabilities across the state. (ANI)
