Karnataka to introduce AI-powered selfie-based attendance system for government employees

BENGALURU: Marking attendance by signing the ledger or placing the finger on the biometric device could soon be passe. The state government is all set to introduce the Karnataka Advanced Attendance Management System (KAAMS) at all its departments which is enabled by artificial intelligence and geographic information system.

Employees will have to mark their attendance by clicking a selfie from their mobile phone on their office premises and their attendance is captured real time. This AI-enabled attendance system is said to be first of its kind for any government office in the country.
