AI4DPI focuses on four interconnected areas where open research can address emerging challenges in Digital Public Infrastructure.

AI4DPI focuses on four interconnected areas where open research can address emerging challenges in Digital Public Infrastructure.

Pillar 1 : AI for DPI

How can AI make DPI easier to deploy and use—without compromising trust?

Research areas can include AI-assisted deployment and maintenance, intelligent interfaces, AI agents, authentication, consent and secure interaction with identity and credential systems.

Expected Outputs

  • Open frameworks

  • Prototypes

  • Research

  • Implementation Playbooks

Pillar 2 : Face & Liveness

How do we know a digital user is real and present in the age of generative AI?

AI4DPI researches face verification, liveness detection and presentation-attack detection, with particular attention to diverse Asia-Pacific populations and emerging deepfake threats.

Expected Outputs

  • Datasets

  • Benchmarks

  • Open PAD/liveness technology

  • Testing methods

  • Integration guidance
