Microsoft founder Bill Gates is scheduled to visit Andhra Pradesh on Monday, where he will hold discussions with Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on strengthening collaboration in healthcare and artificial intelligence initiatives. Gates will arrive at the state secretariat in the morning and briefly meet CM Naidu, IT Minister Nara Lokesh and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan. The Chief Minister has urged Gates to scale up the ongoing health programmes across Andhra Pradesh, and the discussions are also expected to centre on AI-driven interventions, Narayana said. After the meeting, Gates will visit the Real Time Governance System (RTGS) centre to review the application of technology in public administration. Gates had earlier visited the erstwhile undivided Andhra Pradesh twice, and this visit comes after an invitation extended by CM Naidu to deepen collaboration with the state government, the minister added.
