🎉 Proud to share that two of our Biometrics and Profiling Centre of Expertise projects, Project eXtramural and Project eXorbital, have received the Merit Award at the Science, Technology, and Engineering (STE) Innovation Challenge at the Public Service STE Conference on 28 August 2024. The award recognizes cutting-edge Public Service STE projects that are transforming Singapore and delivering impactful solutions. Project eXtramural – a Biometrics Self-enrolment Kiosk that lets individuals self-enrol their fingerprint, face, and iris with minimal officer intervention. It is also designed with inclusivity in mind as the kiosk’s height can be adjusted to accommodate wheelchair users, and video instructions with audio to guide users through the enrolment process. Project eXorbital – an Identification On The Move (IOTM) prototype where biometric features can be captured even when an individual is walking. This allows end-users, for example, travelers at immigration checkpoints to breeze through the clearance lane simply by looking at the IOTM’s scanners. 👉🏻 https://go.gov.sg/htxstec #HTXsg #HTScienceandTech #Biometrics Public Sector Science & Technology Policy and Plans Office (S&TPPO) Public Service Division

“AI should be designed to serve humans…no one should be left behind in the AI journey.” This was emphasised by our Chief AI Officer and Assistant Chief Executive (Digital and Enterprise) Chee Wee Ang in a Dell Technologies Forum panel discussion. The HTxAI movement aims to improve citizen and employee experiences, as well as mission outcomes across the Home Team. From the implementation of QR codes for faster immigration clearance at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints, to a police report chatbot that leverages large language models, and a co-pilot to analyse submissions from vendors and generate procurement documents, collaboration and knowledge sharing in the AI ecosystem is crucial to creating an AI-first Home Team for a safe and secure Singapore. #HTXsg #DellTechForum #HTxAI #HomeTeam #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI

What a memorable experience at the Dell Technologies Forum 2024! HTX had the great privilege of speaking on the GenAI Panel, themed "Fast-tracking Generative AI", featuring also Him Chuan LIM, Yonggang Wen, Raju C., and expertly moderated by Mei May Soo. We delved into HTX’s AI movement to create an AI-first HTX to foster an AI-enabled Home Team for a safe and secure Singapore. AI has immense potential to transform citizen and employee experiences, and enhancing mission outcomes across the Home Team, empowering every officer to have an exponential impact on public safety and security. Just as crucial is our proactive stance in addressing the risks associated with widespread AI adoption. We highlighted the need for guardrails in AI model deployment and to champion Explainable AI, ensuring a responsible and secure integration of AI technologies. Special gratitude to Andy Sim and the Dell organising team for facilitating the rich conversations on AI, and my co-workers, Christopher Lim, CSP-PO, Wang Jiale, Dorcas Yang, Damian Koh for supporting the event, as HTX gears up to shape a brighter AI-powered future for the Home Team! 🙏 🚀 💯💕 #DellTechForum #HTxAI #HTXsg #Hometeam #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI
