Abstract

Abstract : Biometric systems promise to transform our lives by enhancing capabilities to rapidly detect, analyse and respond to human features and behaviours. Yet while we are at the dawn of the AI age, the potential applications of biometric tools have already triggered unease in the public and heightened scrutiny from policymakers. These concerns have emerged against the backdrop of a global 'techlash' fuelled by growing anxiety over privacy breaches, loss of data rights and disinformation.
