Karnataka on Wednesday began the rollout of KEO, its indigenously developed AI-ready personal computer initiative, with the first batch of 2,000 systems set to be deployed across rural libraries, schools and educational institutions.
The rollout comes as the state seeks to expand access to affordable computing and artificial intelligence (AI) tools beyond urban centres, said the IT/BT department in a statement. The AI-ready PCs, priced at Rs 18,999, are being assembled at the Karnataka State Electronics Development Corporation (KEONICS) facility in Peenya.
