H.E. Dr. Nguonly Taing emphasized: “Before this MoU on the Cloud and AI solution, TSC team already tried AI’s facial recognition service provided by Huawei and other well-known tech companies. We are able to see the strong capability of Huawei with its cutting-edge technology as its facial recognition service provides higher accuracy compared to other tech companies’ services. In addition, Huawei also has the Face Liveness Detection that outstands its competitors.” He continued “With qualified and competitive cloud solution provided by Huawei to TSC, through this MoU, the selected teams in our Reverse Innovation program will be given a better opportunity to test and develop their Proof-of-Concept/Minimum Viable Products efficiently by using that cloud solution.
