One signal

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has inaugurated a new centre in Lucknow focused on quantum forensics and legal compliance. The announcement links emerging computing research with the practical business of gathering evidence and applying the law.

The Times of India reports that the LEXQ Centre of Excellence was launched at the UP State Institute of Forensic Science during the Tech Sangam conference. Adityanath also said the state has completed 12 forensic laboratories, with six more nearing completion, and deployed more than 150 forensic vans. He argued that AI should support decision-making, not replace human judgement. The centre’s work could make that principle rather more interesting than a conference slogan, but the report gives no details yet on its projects or timetable. What should come first: investing in advanced forensic technology, or ensuring existing evidence-gathering systems work reliably?

Discuss: Should public investment prioritise advanced forensic technology such as quantum forensics, or getting existing evidence-gathering systems to work reliably?
