AI biometrics are technologies capable of identifying individuals or inferring identity resulting from ‘specific technical processing relating to the physical, physiological or behavioural characteristics of a natural person, such as facial images or dactyloscopic (fingerprint) data’ (EU AI Act/GDPR). This technology can offer significant potential benefits such as facial recognition for security, access control, and identity verification across various industries. However, the deployment of such systems necessitates rigorous risk assessment and management practices. Issues such as data privacy, bias, and accuracy must be carefully considered. False positives or negatives can have severe consequences and can be discriminatory.
Anekanta®AI’s risk frameworks and services for AI biometrics consider all global/regional regulations including the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), and the new standard BS 9347:2024 (UK).
