Vision AI specialist company SeesAI has signed an agreement with the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA) to be selected for the quarantine management division of the 2025 public AX project.
This public AX project aims to pioneer the application of AI in the public sector, revolutionize public services, and accelerate the adoption of AI in everyday life for citizens and the AI Transformation in the public sector. Through public-private partnerships, the government plans to develop and demonstrate AI solutions that citizens can experience and implement, and promote their on-site application and expansion across ministries.
This project, comprised of 20 sub-divisions, including tax arbitration, healthcare, and welfare administration, will involve Siseon AI forming a consortium with Clavi, a generative AI company, to undertake the quarantine management sub-division project, "Development and Demonstration of an AI-Based Quarantine System Friendly to Overseas Travelers." The project will run until December 31, 2026, with a total budget of approximately KRW 3.9 billion, of which approximately KRW 2.9 billion will be provided in government subsidies. Siseon AI, as the lead organization, will hold a 65% stake in the project, while the Korean Society of Quarantine Science will serve as an advisory committee member, providing expertise in the field of quarantine.
Through this project, SightAI, Clavi, and the Korean Society of Quarantine Science will develop an AI-based, automated, and streamlined non-face-to-face quarantine system that includes core quarantine functions such as predicting the infectious disease risk of international travelers, identifying and isolating symptomatic individuals, and conducting personalized medical questionnaires. The goal is to minimize disruption to passenger flow and increase the accuracy and efficiency of infectious disease prevention and response.
During the project, Clavi will be responsible for designing and developing AI infectious disease surveillance and quarantine solutions, while Siseon AI will be responsible for designing and developing AI remote fever detection and Re-ID (re-identification) solutions, as well as a gate-based automated quarantine system. Re-ID technology re-identifies objects, such as people or vehicles, across multiple videos or images.
A representative of SightAI said, “The AI quarantine automation system and individual solutions will find increasing use not only in airports but also in various public health and national quarantine projects such as ports, schools, and tourist destinations.” They added, “Through modularization and packaging, we plan to cooperate with Clavi and the Korean Society of Quarantine to explore K-Quarantine export channels targeting the global quarantine market.”
