Have you filled the SIR form? If yes, then you must be wondering how the Election Commission will detect duplicate or fake voters among so many people. AI plays a key role in the ongoing SIR process in nine states and three union territories. The Election Commission is using Artificial Intelligence to clean the voter list. AI-based software is collating voter data to identify duplicate, fake and fake votes. This is making the election process more transparent and reliable. Let us understand in detail how AI is being used in the SIR process.
How AI is working in the SIR process
According to a report in The Economic Times (REF.), the Election Commission is using AI-based software to further improve the SIR process. This software is identifying duplicate voters through face recognition. To do this, an AI-based system compares faces across the voter database and detects if the same person’s photo is seen in different places. This technology closely analyzes facial features, such as eyes, nose and lips. This enables the Election Commission to ensure that no one can vote at more than one place. AI can scan thousands of photos in minutes to do this.
Identifying fake and dead voters
In the SIR process, the AI system flags suspicious entries and removes names of dead people or fake registrations from the list. The AI system used by the Election Commission detects strange patterns, such as repeated use of the same photo or use of very old photos. With AI, the Election Commission is able to ensure that only real and live voters can vote.
AI is a helpful verification tool
AI is acting as a helpful tool in the ongoing SIR process. It generates alerts for any anomalies. Additionally, the use of AI systems has made initial data processing faster and easier. If the system detects anything suspicious, it flags the problem. The field officer can then investigate that particular case. It is worth noting that earlier, manual verification was time consuming and prone to errors. The use of AI has made the entire SIR process more efficient and accurate.
