10 start-ups (Barricade AI, CLIKA Inc., Extreme Simulations, Graylark Technologies, Inc., LIVR , nami, Polygeist, SharkSense Ltd., SpectraCann, Voicesense) from six countries showcased their proof-of-concepts at the recent Demo Day held at Hatch. From automatic reporting using body-worn camera footage, to compression of large AI models, and hyper-realistic manikins for tactical medicine training, we got a glimpse of some of these solutions developed in collaboration with Home Team end-users and HTX’s engineers. Dimension X is an open innovation challenge that accelerates and validates dual-use technologies from start-ups—transforming bold ideas into impactful public safety and security solutions. #HTXsg #DimensionX #Hatch #Innovation #PublicSafety #Startups #HomelandSecurity

CLIKA's #7x7 is here! As we wrap up the spookiest week of the month, we wanted to highlight some key events from this month in our newsletter: ► Demo Days with Hatch and LG Electronics ► TechCrunch #Disrupt24 ► 🚨More details on the projects used for the demos 🚨 Beyond the highlights, this month has also sparked extensive conversations around AI democracy and open-source AI across the world. Hugging Face's leadership actively discussed these topics this month. Devansh Devansh, an incredible writer in this space, wrote an interesting post on the economics of why we give things away for free, tying it to AI open-sourcing. Check out what we have to say about all of these in our newsletter, 7x7! #opensourceai #aidemocracy #edgeai #efficientai #ai #aicontent
