Biometrics and AI Bias

Failures in the Loop: Human Leadership in AI-Based Decision-Making

“…Facial recognition technologies have been one of the earliest uses of AI, exploiting their pattern matching capabilities. Images captured from CCTV at the scene of a crime are compared to those within a massive database [95]. The success of such usage has been variable, especially against people of color, where errors have been made in identifying a suspect accurately (e.g., [96]).…”

Machine Learning, Convergence Digitalization, and the Concentration of Power: Enslavement by Design Using Techno-Biological Behaviors

“…The point is, the data exists. Tied together with new forms of multimodal biometric data capture, we might speculate that this is the very last surveillance frontier, the sacred space "inside your skull" as Orwell referred to it in 1984, as being subject to manipulation, and abuse [114]. What is left then of our human rights, when we have stripped away even that which was considered entirely private and personal?…”

Biometric-Driven Digital Village Governance: A SWOC-Enabled Model with Fraud Prevention

“…Biometrics plays a pivotal role in fraud detection by providing a robust and secure method for verifying individuals' identities. The inherent uniqueness of biometric traits, such as fingerprints, iris patterns, or facial features, makes it exceptionally challenging for fraudsters to impersonate others [5]. Biometric systems are used extensively to verify identities before granting access to sensitive systems, data, or physical locations, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.…”
