Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched the AI-powered 'YAKSH' app during the 'Police Manthan' conference. The app aims to strengthen policing by digitally storing comprehensive criminal data, including photos and voice samples. It features AI-based facial recognition and voice search for suspect identification, and a 'CrimeGPT' tool for analyzing crime-related information. This initiative replaces manual record-keeping to enhance efficiency, accountability, and crime prevention, particularly for habitual offenders and wanted criminals.
