Indian Army plans AI driven translation to communicate with Chinese soldiers in real-time
India shares a border with China. The lack of Chinese speaking Indian Army soldiers creates an impediment to communications in a sensitive area. It has been identified as a key issue for their Army. Cogknit Semantics Pvt Ltd has offered the army an AI solution that can translate Chinese into English or Hindi in real-time. This is planned and it is not clear if the Indian Army will adopt.
