Unknown Apr 02, 2026 2 Views

The Karnataka government has come up with a revolutionary AI-based attendance system where government employees have to upload selfies from inside their office buildings. The move is made to bring in more transparency and accountability to government offices.

Selfie Requirement: Employees are required to take and upload a selfie through the KAAMS mobile application while they are on office premises.
AI Technology: The system uses facial recognition and geolocation tracking to confirm attendance, ensuring selfies are taken between 100-200 meters from the office.
Real-Time Data: Attendance is captured in real-time, preventing the possibility of manipulation found in earlier biometric systems.
Privacy Assurance: Employee information will be kept confidential and will not be made available to private parties.
Future Expansion: If successful, this system can be implemented in other states in India.
