Multimodal biometrics is gaining momentum. While face recognition remains the dominant biometric technology, the 6% growth of multimodal biometrics in 2024 underscores a growing industry acceptance of the need to use more than one biometric modality for enhanced security and accuracy.

Want to delve deeper into this trend? Members are invited to join our upcoming On the Pulse Conversation: “A Need for Multimodal Biometrics,” where we’ll discuss this in detail and share insights and updates on the use of multimodal biometrics. Register at: https://t.co/dSbJWqScDr

The Use of Facial Recognition in Policing 🔍 New paper from the Biometrics Institute explores members’ diverse perspectives on the use of facial recognition technology in policing. https://t.co/YwnY8B8o4m

“Facial recognition technology presents both significant opportunities and complex challenges,” says Isabelle Moeller, CEO of the Biometrics Institute. “Its potential to enhance security, improve efficiency, and address societal issues is undeniable. However, it is crucial that the deployment of FRT and live facial recognition (LFR) is guided by a strong ethical framework, robust regulatory oversight, and a commitment to transparency and accountability.”

This paper reflects the range of views within the Biometrics Institute’s community on this evolving and critical technology. Understanding these different perspectives is essential for informed discussion and the development of responsible and ethical guidelines for its use.

Our Chairman and Director, Jakob Glynstrup attended the XXI CLARCIEV meeting in São Paulo alongside member countries from Latin America and the Caribbean earlier today.

Participating in a digital identity panel, he addressed a critical question that lies at the heart of online interactions: “How do you know who you are dealing with online?” He emphasised the importance of the Three Laws of Biometrics as a starting point for the responsible implementation of biometric systems and discussed the Good Practice Framework which helps even those with limited knowledge of biometrics procure, upgrade or expand a system.

Key takeaways:
🔹 Biometrics can play a role in helping ensure we’re dealing with the right people online, but responsible implementation is crucial.
🔹 You need to get it right, right from the start and the Biometrics Institute has many good practice resources to help navigate the world of biometrics, and digital identity.

Information on best practices for biometrics, including the Three Laws of Biometrics, is available from the Institute’s website at https://t.co/yQsjvDoJ3c. For anyone interested in learning more about the technology and its implementation, the Biometrics Essentials learning tool is also freely available in English and Spanish at https://t.co/koUWp5CrhW.

We look forward to collaborating further on these important topics with the CLARCIEV council and thank you for the invitation to take part in this important meeting.

It’s Privacy Awareness Week, and this year’s theme, improving transparency, accountability, and security, is especially relevant as we explore the complex relationship between AI and biometrics.

To address confusion surrounding biometrics, especially facial recognition, the Biometrics Institute is releasing a discussion paper. The paper aims to untangle the issues surrounding AI and biometrics, and define artificial intelligence within the context of biometrics with a new entry in our Explanatory Dictionary.

We invite you to contribute to shaping a common understanding by taking part in the conversations as we ask:
• How would you define the relationship between AI and biometrics?
• Biometrics & AI?
• How does AI interact with biometrics?

These discussions will take place at our upcoming events.
🇦🇺 22-23 May 2024: Asia-Pacific Conference, Sydney – https://t.co/xEtj3KKB10
🇺🇸 20 June 2024: US Strategy Forum, Washington DC – https://t.co/VDAaiTXkRG

Join us to be heard and make your contribution as our members debate the questions and seek consensus on what that is during meetings in Sydney and Washington D.C.
