From scans to facial recognition, how AI tech is securing new Parliament building

To enter the new Parliament building, the government has deployed hi-tech and advanced facial artificial intelligence mechanisms..

The scans of Union ministers, Members of Parliament, and top officials have already been taken to enable the gates to open as soon as they come within six metres of the entrances to the new Parliament building...

Apart from face scans, other biometric details like the ones given for passport renewals and creation have also been collected from MPs, in case the facial recognition system fails..

Smart cards, similar to credit cards, using the Smart Card Operating System for Transport Applications (SCOSTA) will be programmed to allow only categories of personnel with security clearance to access specific areas..

According to the new system, media cards will allow access to an adjacent North Utility building that will include, among other things, a canteen and facilities room..
