With the focus on ‘Technologies for Effective Governance’, the Chandigarh edition of ‘Express Digital Governance Series’, was organized by Express Computer in partnership with technology giant, Microsoft India. Thought leaders, visionaries, policy makers and IT leaders from the state came together to discuss and debate the great potential that India’s two crucial states – Punjab and Haryana offered and how modern day digital transformation can help in improving the existing infrastructure for them.
The conference began with the keynote address from Dr Nirmaljit Singh Kalsi, Additional Chief Secretary – Home, Government of Punjab. He spoke in detail about the impact of emerging technologies on life of people and how in 5 to 8 years, things will completely change. In his speech, Dr Kalsi highlighted how emerging technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence could have a major impact on governance. He was of the view that governments have to re-imagine their role in the light of automation of services, which will happen because of proliferation of emerging technologies.
Dr Kalsi warned that with proliferation of technology, the vector for cyber-attacks will also increase. Hence, companies in both the government and enterprise sector should adequately invest in the capacity building of cyber experts in the country. “This is one area that has become a differentiator and going forward, the criticality will further increase, as people’s reliance on technology goes up. The exposure of personal data will also increase,” he said.
