biometrics + the future of identity Ido Lustig

AI bias in identity verification Biometric technology itself is not inherently biased – it is the design of biometric technology that can introduce discrimination .
But as Briggs explains , to tackle AI bias in identity verification , we first need a way to evaluate biometric bias : “ There is currently no standardised , third-party measurement for evaluating demographic bias in biometric technologies .
“ The industry needs a way to evaluate the equity and inclusion of biometric technologies . This would give service providers a way to ensure that their solution is equitable , regardless of whether it was built in-house or based on third-party technology from a vendor . This benchmark would provide the public with the information they need to select a service provider that ’ s more equitable .”
Determining ‘ what is right ’ goes beyond creating accuracy benchmarks – creating ethical guidelines is essential .
