The Union government has appointed IAS officer Saurabh Vijay as the CEO of the India AI Mission, according to the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY).
Vijay, a 1998-batch officer of the Maharashtra cadre, has been given the additional charge alongside his role as CEO of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
The post in the India AI Mission had remained vacant since the departure of former CEO Abhishek Singh from MeitY.
Meanwhile, the government has appointed 2001-batch IAS officer Priyank Bharti as the chairperson of the Online Gaming Authority.
Bharti is also serving as director general of the National Informatics Centre (NIC), a post previously held by Singh.
