Three key takeaways from #BICongress 2024

Two weeks ago, the Biometrics Institute Congress 2024 explored AI in biometrics, with discussions around the standards and regulations to help build trust and accelerate its safe and responsible adoption.

Key takeaways from Andrejs Katakins

Biometric Solutions Architect, Team Lead at X Infotech, Biometrics Institute Member

1?? Face modality is still the most popular biometric modality. Face recognition risks, such as deepfakes, PAD, and morphing, with associated concerns about security and privacy and possible misuse by police, are very real.

2?? AI is a biometric fraud enabler and a biometric fraud detector. AI could be a game-changer for biometrics. Advanced web tools provide easy access to deepfakes, morphing, and digital injection attacks, so education and legislation must be updated to manage?AI?risks. AI also allows the mitigation of identified risks, supporting advanced liveness detection, among other?approaches.

3?? Rapid DNA devices are able to process DNA samples within 90 minutes and this time will decrease as technology?develops.

It's clear that the workshops were a highlight, buzzing with energy, engagement, and practical hands-on learning.

The Biometrics Institute Congress?is the meeting place for the international biometrics community to gather annually in London. Every year, around 300 representatives from over 30 nations come to connect, debate and take part in off-the-record discussions to shape the future of the industry. The Biometrics Institute has released its State of Biometrics Report 2024, highlighting key trends, challenges, and predictions for the future of biometric technology.
