The Artificial Intelligence Institute launched a new mobile application called the Ethiopian Federal Police App (EFPA) developed for the Ethiopian Federal Police. The EFPA allows citizens to easily report crimes they witness by using their smartphone.
The application was officially launched today, with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in attendance at the ceremony. In his remarks, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed praised the institute’s work, stating that the EFPA application brings the crime detection capabilities commonly seen in developed countries to Ethiopia. He noted that the system is tailored to work in the local languages, making it accessible to all Ethiopian citizens.
The launch of the EFPA mobile app represents a significant step forward in leveraging technology to enhance public safety and citizen engagement with law enforcement in Ethiopia. The Artificial Intelligence Institute’s development of this application demonstrates their commitment to creating innovative solutions that address real-world challenges faced by the country.
In his remarks at the launch event, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed expressed his gratitude to the Ethiopian government for the establishment and work of the Artificial Intelligence Institute. He noted that the institute has accomplished a great deal in the few years since its founding.
The prime minister highlighted the new Ethiopian Federal Police App (EFPA) developed by the institute. This mobile application allows citizens to easily report crimes they witness, without having to physically go to a police station. Users can submit reports with photos, videos, audio recordings, and other options.
Beyond just reporting crimes, the EFPA also provides users with valuable information related to traffic conditions and other public safety concerns. This represents a significant advancement in enabling citizen engagement and collaboration with law enforcement.
The launch of the EFPA demonstrates the Artificial Intelligence Institute’s commitment to leveraging technology to improve public safety and security in Ethiopia. By empowering citizens to actively participate in crime prevention and reporting, the app has the potential to strengthen the relationship between the public and the police force.
