According to the Times of India, Tamil Nadu is in the works of releasing blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that are about to disrupt public policy and governance. "We are working on separate policies on blockchain and AI. The AI policy is going to be perhaps the world's first policy addressing safe and ethical use of AI" said Santosh Misra, CEO, TN e-Governance Agency (TNeGA). "No state or country has announced a standalone policy to address the safety and ethics associated with AI, and we have no precedence for it", he added. Blockchain is comprised of a list of records known as blocks, which cannot be modified.
