Singapore, February 07, 2026 — AI Seer Pte. Ltd., a company accredited by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and backed by venture capitalist Tim Draper, showcased its innovative Multi-Spectral Reality Detector (MSRD) at an event in IMDA Pixel yesterday. The presentation attracted numerous government officials and members of the Singapore Association of Polygraphers, who gathered to discuss advancements in credibility assessment and truth detection.
During the event, Chief Technical Officer Shahruj Rashid unveiled findings from an extensive laboratory trial involving 118 participants, which received Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval. The study reported an impressive 83% contactless accuracy in pupil dilation measurements, which Rashid noted outperforms traditional polygraph techniques in safeguarding innocent individuals from wrongful accusations. “Our research shows that pupil dilation is substantially better at exonerating the innocent than conventional polygraph-like modalities,” Rashid stated. The results, documented in a preprint available for review, suggest that pupil responses exhibit ten times less random variation compared to electrodermal activity (EDA), the second most reliable polygraph measure. This establishes a new standard for physiological credibility assessment.
The workshop also featured insights from Allen Tai Ju Ou Yang, a Division Assistant at Taiwan’s Criminal Investigation Bureau. He presented independent field trial validation undertaken at the Central Police University in Taiwan. Ou Yang, who has previously spoken at the American Polygraph Association’s annual seminar, demonstrated how an “Alibi Game,” designed by AI Seer, was utilized in a real-world investigative scenario with over 80 participants. The study highlighted that combining pupil dilation with EDA measurements significantly reduced both false positives and false negatives compared to using either modality independently. “The field trial results confirm what was observed in AI Seer’s laboratory study: when used together, these physiological indicators provide a more robust assessment framework, especially for exonerating the innocent,” explained Ou Yang, noting that “calibrated models achieved accuracy in the 80 percent range under field conditions.”
Ou Yang conducted the third-party validation using AI Seer’s MSRD technology alongside the novel Moral Directed Lie Test, which aims to enhance standardization. Concerns had recently been raised about another automatable version, the Directed Lie Test, which lacked consistency. Results from the Taiwanese field trial are set to be presented as a full paper at the Conference on Investigation Technology and Forensic Science at Central Police University and will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Attendees at the workshop engaged deeply with both Rashid and Ou Yang about various operationalization options for the MSRD technology. Discussions revolved around potential integration pathways for government agencies, implementation protocols tailored for different screening contexts, and the opportunity to enhance existing investigative frameworks. Looking ahead, AI Seer revealed plans to incorporate a contactless respiration monitoring module, utilizing thermal imaging to counteract potential manipulation of polygraph questioning. “We’re committed to rigorous, independent validation as we advance this technology,” Rashid emphasized. He described the thermal respiration component as the next frontier in creating a comprehensive, contactless credibility assessment system.
The MSRD technology is protected by a patent granted in Taiwan (TW II8945298B) and is undergoing examination in the United States (US20230309882A1) and Singapore (WO2023195910A1). Its practical applications extend beyond conventional law enforcement, with the potential to support verification of self-declarations in immigration, customs, and background screening processes, as well as high-stakes hiring and security clearance evaluations. AI Seer’s MSRD can provide an automated mode that is approximately ten times cheaper and faster than traditional polygraph examinations.
