The report explores biometric applications across many industry use cases

Featuring thought leadership from 30 of our supplier members, this report offers real-world insights and tested solutions. Submissions explore the ethical and responsible use of biometrics, both present and future, offering practical approaches to navigating the complexities of this rapidly advancing technology.

The report also highlights the importance of rigorous testing and showcases real-world use cases that provide valuable perspectives on ensuring biometric technologies respect privacy and build public trust in the technology. It addresses the growing demand for transparency and accountability in biometric systems, demonstrating how responsible development and deployment can achieve this.

Themes across the report include:

• AI
• Digital identity
• Demographic differentials and inclusion
• Data protection, ethics and privacy
• Standards and testing
• Education and training
• Remote identity and liveness
• Biometric capture
• Deepfakes and vulnerabilities
• Seamless travel and borders
• Finance
• Multimodal biometrics
• Governance and legislation

The Biometrics Institute does not endorse any of the submissions in the report but is sharing them for information purposes and to help generate discussion.
