The Telangana Elite Group for Drug Law Enforcement (Eagle Force) has introduced three AI-driven tools to combat drug abuse among youth and disrupt narcotics networks. This innovative approach emphasizes prevention over traditional enforcement methods. The initiative was launched by Director General of Police Shivadhar Reddy, who unveiled the official website: eagleforce.tspolice.gov.in.
Sahay.AI is an AI chatbot that provides instant responses to drug-related queries, helping identify drug users through observable symptoms like mood swings and red eyes. Shield.AI supports de-addiction by outlining the harmful effects of drugs while ensuring user confidentiality. Lastly, Mithra-TG targets teens aged 13–19, offering a questionnaire for parents and teachers to assess behavioral patterns, identifying those at high risk of substance abuse. This proactive approach aims to ensure a safer environment for youth, leveraging technology for early detection and prevention.
