SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): The Republic's shores will soon be safer with a new artificial intelligence data processing system that can identify threatening ships along Singapore's shores in real time.
The "sense-making system", which will be used by the Singapore Maritime Crisis Centre (SMCC), automatically takes in updated information from local and foreign governmental and commercial sources and uses anything from the crew's criminal records to the route the ship is sailing to determine threat levels.
