Outlining the Government’s strategic vision for artificial intelligence under the Goa AI Mission 2027, Minister for Information Technology, Electronics & Communications, Rohan A. Khaunte shared a roadmap designed to position the state as a frontrunner in AI-led innovation across South Asia.
The Mission, led by Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant, is anchored on four foundational pillars: Skilling, Startups & Companies, Capital and Government Policy & Infrastructure. These pillars aim to nurture an inclusive, innovation-driven AI ecosystem that benefits citizens, academia and industry alike.
At the core of the initiative is the proposed Goa AI Mission Council, which will lead the drafting of a new AI Policy and guide the state’s long-term approach to impactful adoption and leadership in AI. “A Section 8 company has been proposed to give speed and wings to the Mission. This will also give the entire Mission a legal standing,” said Khaunte.

He added that the introduction of the AI-powered chatbot is the first step toward integrating artificial intelligence into governance.
