Advancing inclusive, open-source DPI in the Asia-Pacific

AI4DPI is AIT’s regional research and open-source innovation hub for Digital Public Infrastructure, working across AI, digital identity, biometrics, verifiable credentials, security and inclusion.

DPI challenges cut across countries, universities, governments, technology providers and research disciplines. AI4DPI brings them together so shared problems can be researched in the open and solved once for the region.

From shared questions to open, reusable infrastructure.

1. 01ResearchStudy shared DPI problems with universities and partners across the region.
2. 02BuildDevelop open-source models, tools, protocols and prototypes.
3. 03EvaluateTest security, inclusion and performance with benchmarks and open methods.
4. 04DocumentPublish findings, playbooks and guidelines others can reuse.
5. 05ConnectBring researchers, governments and builders together through forums and hackathons.

A regional hub for open DPI research, based at AIT.

Our vision is secure, inclusive, interoperable and accessible open DPI across the Asia-Pacific. We research, build, evaluate, document and connect, working with universities, governments and technology providers in the region.
