Overview
- MeitY Startup Hub and NASSCOM signed MOUs as strategic partners to provide mentoring, incubation, accelerator support, industry connections, and global outreach.
- UIDAI seeks real-time or near-real-time detection of deepfakes, masks, morphs, and spoofing across demographics, devices, and environments with support for server and edge deployment.
- Pilot challenges include face liveness SDKs for use across Aadhaar enrollment and authentication, PAD solutions geared to academic research, and contactless fingerprint SDKs using smartphone cameras or low-cost imaging devices.
- Submissions must meet accuracy and privacy requirements, interoperate with Aadhaar APIs, and generate AFIS-compliant fingerprint templates while maintaining minimal user friction on mobile and edge devices.
- The programme prioritizes indigenous, scalable technologies aligned with Digital Public Infrastructure and Atmanirbhar Bharat, reflecting Aadhaar’s central role in service delivery and rising AI-driven impersonation risks.
