The police have inked an MoU with IIT-Ropar for the establishment an in-house Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Lab, said Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Wednesday.

The MoU was signed by ADGP (Technical Services) Ram Singh and Director IIT Ropar Professor Rajeev Ahuja in the presence of DGP Gaurav Yadav. SP (Technical Services) Sandeep Kaur Sandhu and Asst Professor IIT Ropar Dr Santosh Kumar Vipparthi were also present.

DGP Gaurav Yadav said while AI can assist the police in detection of criminal activities and fraud by identifying patterns and trends in large volumes of data, ML algorithms can help understand criminal behaviour and allocate resources accordingly. The lab will also help in optimising the deployment of manpower based on real-time data, he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
