The event was also attended by Wayan Toni Supriyanto, Director General of Postal and Informatics Providers, Yessie D.

We believe this innovation will bring convenience, enhance security, improve speed, and minimize the risk of data forgery or duplicate identities."

 

Yessie also highlighted that facial recognition technology has been widely applied in sectors like banking and security. XL Axiata is now leading its implementation in the telecommunications industry. Through this trial, XL Axiata aims to gather feedback to #JadiLebihBaik from customers and stakeholders, ensuring the optimal use of this technology moving forward.
