Bengaluru Police launch AI translator after language gap in emergency call
A late-night distress call from a Manipuri-speaking woman highlighted a significant language challenge for the Bengaluru Police, sparking the creation of an AI-driven translation tool called VANKI. This technology allows emergency dispatchers to comprehend callers in their own languages, removing the need for human interpreters. VANKI is now officially part of the city's Namma 112 emergency response network.
