Taipei launches new digital system for municipal services – OpenGov Asia

2021-11-22 06:09:03 By : Ms. Mavis Tang

Since October, Taipei City has been promoting a convenience-driven digital neighborhood construction system that enables citizens to access municipal services through ID cards or National Health Insurance (NHI) cards.

The Taipei City Government has been working hard to improve its smart city blueprint, while ensuring that every citizen, especially the disadvantaged or the elderly, is included in the city's digital deployment. As the world's leading smart city, Taipei has also developed Taipei Link, an award-winning application that is billed as a one-stop portal for up to 80% of municipal services.

According to OpenGov Asia, TaipeiPASS is a key citizen-centric service designed to provide a convenient service portal. The Taipei Pass uses a two-factor authentication mechanism to establish a citizen's digital ID card, which effectively protects citizens' personal data.

The design of the Taipei Pass uses a citizen-centric service method that combines personal ID cards with various city government services. Since the application is connected to the services and facilities of the Taipei City Government, it serves as a bridge for communication and interaction between citizens and the city government in the use of digital infrastructure.

The application program interface is simple and smooth, provides citizen-centered service content, integrates various convenient services such as card authentication, online registration, welfare calculation, and electronic payment at public expenses, and provides one-stop application services.

The Taipei City Government has implemented a real-name system in public places. When citizens enter with the Taipei Pass, they can quickly scan their personal QR codes, which saves waiting time in the line, avoids indirect contact with brush strokes, and protects themselves. As of press time, citizens have used the Taipei Pass to apply for providing detailed information in the real-name registration system when entering large-scale exhibition venues.

However, TaipeiPass requires equipment, which poses problems for digital challenge groups. In order to make the digital transformation smoother, the city government established a new system as an alternative.

In order to improve the quality of municipal services and help people at all levels of the municipal government improve their work efficiency, the new system is replacing paperwork to save time and reduce carbon footprint. At the same time, those who are not familiar with smart devices can simply verify their identities, obtain supplies, and register for activities, regardless of the digital divide.

The system is designed to allow people who are not proficient in digital technology to make the least effort. District offices only need easy-to-access smart devices such as tablets and card readers to upgrade their administrative work, while residents can bring ID cards, national health insurance cards, or even registered Taipei EZ-Tong cards as digital certificates or municipal services Get supplies or register for events.

-Zhang Yongqing, director of the Digital Innovation Center of the Department of Information Technology.

The newly built system is part of the city's contactless service and a smart COVID-19 containment measure. By scanning the ID card, time-consuming activities such as waiting in line can be simplified.

Of the 456 administrative regions in the capital, 19 voluntarily participated in the trial operation of the new system. Most mayors consider this to be a positive addition and believe that it should apply to the entire city.

In September, 215 administrative regions out of 12 administrative units participated in the expanded trial operation. The digital system now provides two main services-material distribution and event registration.

The municipal government will continue to streamline and upgrade. For example, the system will soon include appointments for vaccines, including influenza and hepatitis B vaccines. This is a two-stage digital transformation. Through the face-to-face service of the district office, the digitally disadvantaged groups can use their ID cards to apply for smart services with less pressure.

Various cross-border cooperation between the Philippines and Singapore have expanded their fintech relationship, strengthened ASEAN regional payments, and provided financial inclusion for overseas Filipino workers (OFW) and small and medium enterprises (MSME).

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) President Benjamin Diokno and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Managing Director Ravi Menon signed an expanded fintech innovation function cooperation agreement during the most recent 2021 Philippine World Fintech Festival-Singapore Fintech Festival (SFF). The integration of QR code and real-time payment systems between the two countries is one of the highlights. BSP stated that they are currently taking the first step to integrate the payment system of the Philippines with the payment systems of our ASEAN neighbors, first of all, Singapore.

He went on to say that the agreement will allow for smoother and more seamless international fund transfers, thereby making cross-border payments safer and more efficient. Managing Director Menon said: "This is a solid step towards the idea of ​​an interconnected real-time payment system network in ASEAN."

Amor Maclang, the convener of Digital Pilipinas, expressed his support for the expanded BSP-MAS cooperation agreement, emphasizing the adoption of a society-wide approach to meet current and future technological needs. "We will continue to provide services to BSP and MAS, because this agreement is a very important pillar of our country's technological development," said Maclang, who helped co-sponsor WFF 2021 with MAS.

The OpenGov Asia report stated that the cooperation between BSP and MAS in the payment infrastructure plan is in line with the G20's efforts to resolve existing frictions in global cross-border payments, and will help ASEAN achieve the goal of regional payment integration by 2025. Both central banks will seek multilateral interoperability in these projects as part of a regional effort to strengthen ties within ASEAN and with countries outside the region.

BSP President Benjamin E. Diokno said: “Starting from Singapore, BSP is taking the first step in integrating the Philippine payment system with the payment systems of our ASEAN neighbors.” By effectively connecting the country’s QR code and real-time payment system , It will improve the security and efficiency of cross-border payments and achieve faster and more seamless international cash flow, thereby benefiting Filipinos who use cross-border payment services.

Overseas Filipinos, export, import and tourism companies, and companies with affiliates or investors abroad may all be beneficiaries. BSP believes that this improved CA will promote the connection between the Philippines and Singapore and bring the ASEAN region closer to establishing an integrated and interoperable cross-border payment system.

The sandbox that Digital Pilipinas will establish with state-level agencies will be guided by the BSP and MAS models, enabling them to accelerate innovation while complying with regulatory norms. Digital Pilipinas will use "Business Without Borders" to develop plans to improve the technological level of enterprises and connect small, medium and micro enterprises with international trade. It uses a digital gateway to open the ASEAN market to local companies in compliance with the revised cooperation agreement between BSP and MAS.

BSP Assistant Governor Edna Villa (Edna Villa) mentioned another new development: "Specially aimed at payment innovation and the connection of the two payment systems, InstaPay in the Philippines and PayNow in Singapore."

"Connecting people to new payment methods can help promote financial inclusion," said Todd Schweitzer, CEO of Blancas. Combining financial services with technology education may improve the lives of poor Filipinos. This can help OFW determine which insurance package best suits their needs. "

Carmelita Araneta, general manager of the Philippine Payment Management Corporation (PPMI), agrees that, in terms of economics and technology, "the power of Asia is beginning to shift." Their P2M (person-to-business) solution is designed to interact with Instapay users in Singapore.

Due to the expanded cooperation agreement of BSP-MAS and the new Digital Pilipinas alliance, more interactions between ASEAN are expected. In the end, the convener of Digital Philippines stated that they will help speed up cross-border financial transactions between the Philippines and Singapore, and promote the Philippine industry to move towards ASEAN economic integration.

In building the world's leading artificial intelligence enterprise, training a group of outstanding artificial intelligence engineers, applying artificial intelligence technology to the government, agriculture, manufacturing and service industries, and holding meaningful national debates on broader social impact, etc., The rapid development of artificial intelligence artificial intelligence technology has brought great opportunities and challenges to New Zealand. Therefore, New Zealand must now actively participate in artificial intelligence to ensure its future success.

If New Zealand does not invest in artificial intelligence research, its artificial intelligence capabilities will be limited to efficient software running on the cloud of large multinational companies, endangering the country's technological and data sovereignty. This is confirmed by the publication of New Zealand’s first white paper, which claims that the country’s universities and research institutions have “huge breadth and potential” in artificial intelligence research.

The white paper recognizes the importance of artificial intelligence and emphasizes the importance of establishing and investing in an artificial intelligence ecosystem in which industry and research organizations can cooperate more closely for the benefit of New Zealand. The author discussed New Zealand’s artificial intelligence capabilities using the framework of the World Economic Forum, and made suggestions on how to position the country as a model of global artificial intelligence capabilities and confidence.

It then stated, “Our vision is that by 2030, New Zealand will have a community of cutting-edge companies that produce and export artificial intelligence technology, supported by a strong network of researchers involved in advanced basic and applied research.”

The workforce will be well-educated, and New Zealand and New Zealand will be at the forefront of providing fair AI education to a wide range of stakeholders. The realization of this goal requires both capital investment and collaborative work. In terms of scientific research, the research proposes to expand public artificial intelligence research funding by creating new research centers, centers, and programs in basic and applied artificial intelligence.

The report recommends the development of plans to promote the use of artificial intelligence in the private sector, including investment in strategic sectors such as primary industries, climate change, health, and high-value manufacturing to achieve the industrialization of artificial intelligence technology. The paper went on to say that for artificial intelligence to flourish, it needs a solid infrastructure and recommends the establishment of a national data infrastructure with open data partnerships and data sets.

Ultimately, according to the paper, it is necessary to reflect on the strategic significance of artificial intelligence to Aotearoa in New Zealand. "If we do not participate in the research and adoption of artificial intelligence, we will lose the ability to successfully compete with the major platforms first established in large markets such as the United States, China, and the European Union."

OpenGov Asia reports that artificial intelligence will not only contribute to the education sector, but also the health sector. Artificial intelligence technology is rapidly expanding to other health care fields, including early detection, treatment and research of diseases. In the coming year, technology will continue to advance and play a greater role, especially as the world continues to be affected by the pandemic.

New Zealand has a robust and well-planned artificial intelligence strategy and a thriving artificial intelligence ecosystem. The Artificial Intelligence Forum brings together New Zealand’s artificial intelligence communities to jointly use the power of artificial intelligence technology to achieve a prosperous, inclusive and prosperous future in New Zealand. It promotes New Zealand's artificial intelligence ecosystem through connections, advocacy, talent training and cooperation.

Over the years, artificial intelligence and machine learning have made significant developments and are now smarter than before. After the pandemic, companies that rely on on-site data center support staff quickly realized that they had limited or no visibility into data center operations. With the help of the cloud-based next-generation management platform, IT support staff can now remotely manage the site, and more importantly, manage the site in a more secure way. The Ministry of Commerce, Innovation and Employment is keen to organize future-oriented artificial intelligence systems to achieve effective compliance and advocate stronger regulatory cooperation.

Once the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in early 2020, scientists found themselves racing against time to find antiviral drugs that can treat the disease. With billions of potential drug candidates to be screened, researchers need a way to significantly speed up their search. They found that the answer lies in artificial intelligence (AI).

Since the beginning of the pandemic, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have been using artificial intelligence to search for large numbers of small molecules to find available drug candidates. Recently, they have used new computing hardware to speed up this process, reducing searches that might otherwise take years to just a few minutes.

In order to determine whether a small molecule can form the basis of a useful antiviral drug, researchers need to calculate the degree to which it binds to a different pocket of one of the SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins, which can cause COVID-19.

Calculating the binding energy of small molecules first analyzes them one at a time using physics-based codes on leadership supercomputers, including Argonne's Theta, which is part of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF). These binding scores are then used to train the AI ​​algorithm to find the molecule with the lowest binding energy. With the help of artificial intelligence, researchers have moved from processing one compound per second to 1,000 compounds per second, and finally reaching 50,000 compounds per second.

According to Brettin, the advantage of using AI is that it can quickly adapt and adapt to chemical structures that it has never seen, has never synthesized, and does not exist in nature. Artificial intelligence provides us with speed and flexibility that are difficult to achieve in purely physical computing.

– Tom Brettin, Argonne Computing Scientist

Another benefit of AI is that it can immediately generate the smallest possible binding energy for each candidate without the need for a lot of trial and error calculations when the molecule is attached to the protein site.

Although 50,000 predictions per second seems to be a fast rate, researchers are still interested in speeding up calculations. They turned to ALCF's AI test platform, which is a growing collection of some of the most advanced AI platforms in the world, including the GroqChip accelerator.

When testing a large data set of small molecules, the researchers found that they can achieve 20 million predictions or inferences per second, greatly reducing the time required for each search. Once the best candidates are found, the researchers will determine which ones are commercially available and test them on human cells.

According to OpenGov Asia, the Argonne National Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy has received nearly $3 million in funding for two interdisciplinary projects that will further develop artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies.

These two grants are provided by the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) of the U.S. Department of Energy. They will help Argonne scientists and collaborators seek artificial intelligence and machine learning work to develop methods for processing large data sets or to develop better results with minimal data.

One project is an alliance with partners from the US Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University, and Chicago Illinois Institute of Technology. For this project, Argonne scientists will develop techniques and methods to operate a huge power system.

By integrating mathematical and scientific principles, they will construct powerful and accurate alternative models. These types of models can greatly reduce the time and cost of complex simulations, such as models used to predict climate or weather.

These two projects are part of five projects recently won by the U.S. Department of Energy for using artificial intelligence to advance scientific interdisciplinary work carried out by the National Laboratory. These five companies are all focused on developing reliable and efficient artificial intelligence and machine learning methods to meet a wide range of scientific needs.

Officials from the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT) were told that they should make provisions for the last mile in the proposed budget for 2022 to allow more people to access ICT services. Instead of copying or redoing where you can already access the Internet.

Politicians are committed to ensuring that DICT keeps its promise to provide adequate and efficient services to all 89 million Internet users in the country within the next three years or by January 2025. Senator Ralph Recto believes that the government should pay attention to underserved and underserved problem areas. He believes that the main purpose of DICT should be to support them, not to compete with telecommunications companies.

According to DICT, the country’s Internet penetration rate is 60%, although other sources believe it is close to 44%. The country now has 25,213 macro base stations and approximately 127,000 small base stations, equivalent to approximately 3,500 customers using each macro base station at any given time. The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) stated that the ideal number of Internet users per cell tower is 500. To achieve this ratio, in addition to the existing 25,213, an additional 150,000 cell towers are needed to serve all 89 million Internet users in the Philippines.

Section 4 of the Bayanihan 2 Act was enacted by Congress last year to respond to the dissatisfaction of telecommunications companies and simplify the processing of permits to build cell phone towers in the country. Drilon emphasized that DICT should ensure that they will deliver on their promises and adhere to the schedule.

"The current plan is to increase the number of micro towers because it can make up for the shortage of large or macro towers more quickly. With the help of telecommunications companies, we may be able to reach the [ideal] percentage within three years," Senator De La Rosa added.

OpenGov Asia reported that telecom regulators and operators have experienced an increase in network traffic and have accordingly taken a number of measures to support customers. With this, DICT has promoted its shared passive telecommunications tower infrastructure (PTTI) policy by activating the country’s first public telecommunications tower under the Philippine Business Group, which will be used by leading telecommunications companies and mobile operators in the Philippines. To benefit from the DICT's initiative to promote the growth and development of ITC (Independent Tower Company).

"Through the universal tower policy, we hope to expand the foundation of universal towers, thereby accelerating the deployment of the nationwide Internet by allowing and encouraging telecom companies and Internet service providers to share cellular towers. The government and the private sector need to work closely to upgrade ICT such as cell phone towers. The infrastructure is not only to improve the quality of the Internet connection, but also to meet the growing demand for data from millions of online users in the new era. Normally," the DICT secretary said when inspecting the first activated shared telecommunications tower this week.

The ICT CEO of this business group asserted that the tower opened by the telecommunications company is the Rapid Deployment Station (RDS) telecommunications tower in Valenzuela, which provides a faster setup structure and integrates the tower body, fences, and foundations. Together. These structures can be deployed and dismantled within a few days without the need for extensive excavation and infrastructure construction.

Taiwan and the United Kingdom brought together more than 100 British and Taiwanese hydrogen and fuel cell companies, among which 11 companies attended to explore possible areas of cooperation. The respective hydrogen trade associations in the UK and Taiwan have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) dedicated to improving bilateral contacts, supporting skills development, education and outreach activities, and coordinating industry-related information and activities.

Now is the perfect time for Britain and Taiwan to come together and work more closely together on this future fuel exploration. The UK-Taiwan cooperation has developed rapidly in the development of low-carbon energy, especially offshore wind power. Taiwan's domestic fuel cell industry has become an important part of the global hydrogen supply chain, and its strength and innovation capabilities are increasing day by day.

– John Dennis, British Representative Office in Taipei

Emerging opportunities for technical cooperation between the UK and Taiwan include the deployment of hydrogen in medium and long-distance public road transportation, the use of offshore wind energy to produce green hydrogen, and opportunities for cooperative development projects in third-party markets with common interests in the UK and Taiwan.

Low-carbon hydrogen plays a key role in our collective transition to net zero emissions and has the potential to overcome some of the toughest decarbonization challenges facing our economy. Today, low-carbon hydrogen technology is still at a relatively early stage of deployment. This makes international cooperation particularly important, helps reduce early development risks, and creates a larger shared market for the deployment of low-carbon hydrogen.

By 2050, from the "energy transition" to the "net-zero transition", Taiwan has included hydrogen energy in its decarbonization plan to effectively reduce carbon emissions in the energy and industrial sectors. In addition, Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) established a "Hydrogen Energy Promotion Group" to expand and promote the application and development of hydrogen energy. We will continue to pay attention to the development trend of global hydrogen energy and actively promote the decarbonization of energy and industries.

The memorandum of understanding will help to share the demonstration experience of the deployment of zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell buses, the production and local use of hydrogen, as well as the use of offshore wind hydrogen for heating and cooking, and the substitution of carbon-intensive fossil fuels.

In order to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, hydrogen will be one of the most important projects in the near future. Taiwan has established a hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology supply chain, and international cooperation is promising. The memorandum of understanding can bring unlimited possibilities for more mutual cooperation and prepare Taiwan's hydrogen energy industry for a better future.

According to OpenGov Asia, Taiwan and the United Kingdom are also cooperating in innovative technologies for renewable energy. More than 200 industry practitioners from 16 companies shared the best practices of offshore wind farm operation and maintenance (O&M), smart grids and innovative floating offshore wind power technologies. Taiwan's largest shipbuilding flotation energy company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a British floating wind energy developer to focus on Taiwan's floating wind energy technology development cooperation.

With the rapid expansion of offshore wind power and the ambitious energy transition, Taiwan has the potential to become a leader in the offshore wind power industry in the Asia-Pacific region. The British government is investing in technology to bring more green energy to the British grid system. The British government is committed to sharing this innovation with Taiwan.

The United Kingdom and Taiwan have agreed to carry out cooperation in the energy sector on carbon emission reduction pathways, and jointly hold a series of energy innovation seminars focusing on floating offshore wind energy, hydrogen energy and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS).

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Suahasil Nazara, the Deputy Minister of Finance, believes that digital technology will dominate the workplace in the future. He emphasized that the ministry is having many discussions on the future of work in Indonesia. According to Nazara, the epidemic has accelerated the adoption of digital-based information and communication technologies. Therefore, digital technology has penetrated almost every aspect of life.

The Deputy Minister of Finance drew attention to the existence of the digital economy ecosystem, which includes e-commerce, e-education, financial technology (fintech), e-government and e-health, such as the "PeduliLindungi" application. He explained: "Many tasks are now done with the help of technology, and the government has even formulated and issued regulations governing how people do not have to meet each other."

This encourages the government to continue to build infrastructure and adopt rules and regulations to assist the digital economy, especially the development of the digital banking industry. Palapa Ring and Base Station Transceiver (BTS) are designed to help Internet access reach the furthest areas of the country, as well as the most remote and impoverished (3T) areas. The government is also committed to improving digital finance and economic literacy, claiming that improving people's economic lives will enable them to assume greater responsibilities and rights.

The deputy minister also mentioned the establishment of regional digital acceleration and expansion working groups (Satgas P2DD) in several regions to promote digitalization and people's access to digital finance. The government, through the Ministry of Economic Affairs Coordination, established the Accelerating and Expanding Regional Digitalization (P2DD) working group to develop digital economy and finance to accelerate the country’s transformation and recovery.

Airlangga Hartarto, Minister of Economic Affairs Coordination, stated that the framework of the national digital economy strategy was formulated by considering the complexity and interrelationship of multiple policies between the stakeholders' authorities.

According to him, the main pillars of the national digital economy plan include digital talent, research and innovation, physical and digital infrastructure, and legislative and regulatory assistance, all of which are aimed at achieving the basic goals of a sustainable and fair economy. Grow.

"The national digital economy strategic framework includes three cross-sectoral strategies, namely, accelerating the digitization of the commercial and industrial sectors, creating various opportunities in digital development and interconnection, and encouraging central and regional coordination," he said at the Indonesia Digital Financial Economy Conference Say the 2021 festival (FEKDI) held by Bank Indonesia.

OpenGov Asia reported that Laksana Tri Handoko, head of the National Bureau of Research and Innovation (BRIN), stated that Indonesia has formulated a national artificial intelligence strategy for 2020-2045, which is a milestone in the application of artificial intelligence in Indonesia. In the future, this is expected to have a positive impact on the Indonesian economy. According to Laksana, the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy is an effort by the Indonesian government to improve the use of cutting-edge technologies, especially artificial intelligence. These activities aim to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of various industries. BRIN also promotes the application of artificial intelligence in various strategic areas.

The main goal of the national artificial intelligence strategy is to transform from a government-driven to a demand-driven axis through partnership. The Artificial Intelligence Innovation Center (PIKA) finally gave birth to KORIKA, which was established because of the national artificial intelligence strategy. Hammam added that his party seeks to establish KORIKA, a flexible and trustworthy institution capable of forming a collaborative ecosystem to accelerate the use of artificial intelligence and realize Indonesia's 2045 vision.

Bambang PS Brodjonegoro, the founder of KORIKA, continued: "Soon our lives will move towards Society 5.0, where artificial intelligence is an important part. It is very important for Indonesia to master artificial intelligence in various fields. At present, we are beginning to understand artificial intelligence. In various fields of application, children in many countries have been born with innovations based on artificial intelligence.

As part of the Singapore government's goal to use the functions of commercial cloud computing platforms for government systems, many public sector organizations are migrating their IT systems to the Government Commercial Cloud (GCC). Thanks to GCC, government agencies can use commercial clouds to integrate advanced functions into their digital services, which eliminates the need for them to build their own data centers.

Organizations need a reliable and secure data management platform to allow rapid migration to GCC, high data quality, and user managed data access. Therefore, choosing the right data strategy and long-term platform is more critical for their migration to GCC. In view of this, the Singapore Government Technology Agency (GovTech) is upgrading the Government Commercial Cloud (GCC) service to make it easier for government agencies to manage and protect their use of public cloud services.

According to Kevin Ng, GovTech's core operations development environment and communications director, the upgraded service is called GCC 2.0, and it has been enhanced in terms of user entry and security. Speaking at the virtual conference, Ng said that these improvements are in response to feedback from GCC users and the knowledge that GovTech has gathered from the management service. The foundation of GCC 2.0 progress is a change in the concept of cloud as code and software, rather than a unique form of on-premises hardware infrastructure.

"Today, we still think of the cloud as a piece of hardware. We still like to look at our architecture diagrams, but it's also useful to put this architecture into code and deploy it," Goh said. "If it's not correct, let us dismantle it and redeploy it. We no longer need to be constrained by the art of waterfall planning."

According to GovTech, the government has about 600 systems on the cloud and is expected to put 70% of qualified systems on the cloud by the end of the year. Good opportunities for individuals and businesses, as well as the addition of new public services.

In addition, GovTech is making things easier with TechPass, a single sign-on service that allows users to access cloud management portals, public cloud services and engineering tools in the Singapore Government Technology Stack (SGTS), and SGTS is shared software And the outline of the infrastructure is used to quickly develop and test the services of new applications.

TechPass is part of the Seed security suite, which combines the concept of zero trust with other parts of cloud-based access restrictions to create a secure endpoint device platform. Therefore, only secure and authorized devices can develop and manage government cloud applications.

OpenGov Asia reported that with the support of Singapore's Economic Development Board (EDB), it recently announced the official opening of a data science and artificial intelligence (DS&AI) laboratory. IT manufacturers in Singapore and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have collaborated to strengthen local DS&AI education, providing students with the technical tools and skills needed to inspire a brighter future.

The laboratory will combine the IT company's cutting-edge deep learning technology with NTU's global advantages in artificial intelligence and data science, allowing local data scientists and artificial intelligence experts to take the lead in developing meaningful artificial intelligence solutions in important industries . According to Nantah, the laboratory is still in the planning stage in 2018. Since then, approximately 150 NTU data science and artificial intelligence bachelor's degree students have benefited from the laboratory's resources.

These undergraduates take classes in the lab and use servers sponsored by IT companies to access computing power for their projects and other activities. This work also aims to help Singapore's artificial intelligence program and its transition to Industry 4.0.
