Singapore's Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX) is leading a shift from experimental AI to large-scale national security deployments. This initiative is built on three core pillars:



Sovereignty: HTX developed "Engine," a sovereign, air-gapped infrastructure, and "Fenix," a specialized model family created with Mistral AI to ensure sensitive data remains under government control.



Trust: To maintain high public confidence, HTX uses a structured governance framework that evaluates risk for every use case before development begins.3



Operational impact: Success is measured by tangible results, including:

-- Automated immigration: Fully biometric, passportless gates at Changi Airport.

-- Anti-scam systems: AI that proactively identifies and triples the detection of fraudulent websites.

-- Operational co-pilots: Conversational AI for police reporting and "Teammate," a secure chat app for 30,000 officers.



Future efforts are focused on embodied AI, with a new Humanoids Robotic Center launching later this year to handle high-risk tasks like firefighting and hazardous materials response.
