Mumbai: Amid the Maharashtra government’s push for the use of Artificial Intelligence in the administration, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Monday cautioned government officers and employees to work ably or else a robot will replace them. He said that if the administration is adaptable to changes with the time, people can get more dynamic, transparent and better services.

A confluence of modern technology and new ideas, ‘Tech Wari’ is the beginning of spreading technology to every nook and corner of Maharashtra and creating a modern tech-friendly state.
