TTD Chairman Refutes Comments Made by Former TTD Eo

The TTD Chairman Sri BR Naidu, in a statement released on Sunday, refuted the comments made by the former EO and the retired senior IAS officer Sri LV Subramaniam, misrepresenting the need to implement an artificial intelligence policy in TTD.

In the larger interests of the common devotees who are facing long waiting hours in queue lines and Vaikuntham complexes in Tirumala to have darshan of Sri Venkateswara Swamy, the TTD Board has decided to provide darshan to the devotees within the stipulated time using advanced AI technology in collaboration with Google, TCS and other organizations free of cost, the TTD Chairman stated.

The TTD Trust Board  has decided to let the devotees know the darshan time of Srivaru in advance so that they can visit other temples without having to wait in compartments and serpentine queue lines for a long time. 

The TTD Chairman also condemned the comments of retired senior IAS officer and former TTD EO Sri LV Subramaniam that without understanding the importance of AI technology, it is not correct for a senior and experienced person to make comments that AI technology is not suggestible in Tirumala. Such comments create unnecessary confusion among the devotees.

When the entire world is looking at AI technology to facilitate services around the world, the comments of Sri LV Subramanyam not to implement AI policy in TTD are not justifiable and I am leaving that to his wisdom'', the Chairman reiterated.
