Security clearance at all immigration checkpoints in Singapore will be fully automated with fingerprint, facial and iris scan by 2025, as part of the nation’s plan to harness artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to deliver social and economic benefits.
Border security is one of five key national AI projects announced on Wednesday (Nov 13). The projects are part of Singapore’s new national AI strategy unveiled by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on the same day.
Speaking at the Singapore FinTech Festival and Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology conference, Mr Heng said: “Countries will need to keep pace with technology, and harness it to tackle common challenges and national priorities.”
Apart from border security, the other AI four projects announced are in logistics, healthcare, education and estate management, said the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office.
The five projects were chosen as they can deliver quick results, and have a high social and economic impact.
