I am concerned about his intentions as he may sell your biometric information to the highest bidder for advertising purposes. I don't trust him. I've read enough sci-fi books and comics to know this idea is terrible.
@nixCraft My only addenda to this is just this: don't give up your biometric data if you can avoid it. Obviously Governments are going to work the hardest to get it, but honestly it should be completely personal (no institution should be privy to it). I hope we'll be able to wrap this type of data in Zero Knowledge systems that don't reveal precise underlying info, but that is still a ways off.
@nixCraft Is it infringing on copyrights to train on data? I'm wary of rapidly advancing technology as well, but isn't machine learning more analogous to a person viewing a piece of work, and then creating their own work inspired by it, rather than just copying another's work?
@nixCraft We know how single-identity digital signatures end up. Just look at how India’s Aadhar system turned out.
Now. We do need to start signing our human identity, and prove biometrically that we are human. But, vendor lock-in with that is absolutely out of the question.
Anonymity can be included in digital authentication, but it’s a more complex system and requires international government cooperation.
