Designing For a Future with Biometrics

Co-Presenter: Main Stage

Track 6

Thurs - Sept 23

8:30 am EDT

Biometrics will play a major part in identification and authentication across multiple channels in the future. However, as they are unchangeable and unique identifiers, caution is needed while using them. Are all interventions that use biometrics necessary? Are all biometrics adopted alike? What contexts would make them acceptable? What are possible unintended consequences? Is sharing and safeguarding of this data worth personal risk to individuals and business risk to organizations?
