Gujarat’s government unveiled a set of AI-led governance initiatives, including a “Gujarat AI Stack,” alongside MoUs and a longer-horizon roadmap framing AI as core to public delivery. This is part of a broader pattern in India: states competing not only on attracting AI investment, but on being early adopters of operational AI in government workflows. The meaningful detail to watch is scope—whether the stack becomes shared infrastructure for multiple departments (identity, records, case management, analytics) or stays as a pilot showcase. In practice, the success metrics will be boring-but-real: reduced backlog, faster decision cycles, and auditable outcomes that survive beyond the initial launch moment.
