Revenue Secretary Highlights AI, ML Integration to Combat Smuggling

Revenue Secretary Highlights AI/ML Integration to Combat Smuggling: In a recent statement, the Revenue Secretary emphasized the need for integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies to combat smuggling in India. The department is exploring the application of AI/ML in detecting patterns of smuggling and identifying potential fraud in the trade and customs sector. By enhancing the efficiency of data analysis, the government aims to curb illegal imports and exports, prevent the evasion of duties, and ensure compliance with trade regulations. The integration of these technologies is seen as essential to modernize India’s customs enforcement and improve the detection of sophisticated smuggling operations. The initiative could lead to a more robust and transparent trade system.
