SUMMARY:On the Pulse Conversation: Facial Recognition in a Retail Environment\, Clubs\, Stadiums and Policing - Should the Same Standards Apply?
DESCRIPTION:  \nDATE\n3 April 2025 \nTIME\n08:00 BST (London) \n09:00 CEST (Brussels) \n15:00 SGT (Singapore) \n18:00 AEDT (Sydney)   \n20:00 NZDT (Wellington) \nLOCATION\nLive and on-demand \nDURATION\n90 minutes \nMEETING OUTLINE\n \nOn the Pulse Conversations are part of a series held online to deliver content to our members in a timely and concise format. \nThis On The Pulse Conversation takes a closer look at facial recognition (FR) in places the public accesses. On one hand there are retail environments\, clubs and stadiums where space owners might want to deploy private sector solutions; on the other\, there are policing / law enforcement use cases including the use of images from CCTV and the deployment of live facial recognition (LFR).\nIt’s important to differentiate these use cases as they present different risks and their mitigation. \nIn policing / law enforcement the two main uses cases we see are ‘retrospective/ post-event (criminal) investigations’ and ‘real-time (live) facial recognition’ (LFR). For retrospective investigations the same standards and processes should apply to facial recognition that apply to DNA (robust quality management procedures (ISO/IEC 17025:2017). This is important for public assurance. LFR worries the public\, the media badges it “AI”\, and it feels like a continuous police line-up. Police have always conducted live recognition of people (manual policing surveillance techniques) with officers in the street\, but the technology creates fear. LFR is only indicative / speculative and should only lead to the question: Should we stop this person? Reassurances about data deletion are important. Independent testing throughout the life-cycle of the systems critical. \nThere is also private sector usage of facial recognition e.g. in retail environments to protect staff or clubs and stadiums and this also influences public perception. Shouldn’t it match the same standards and policies as police and law enforcement use for their LFR usage as citizens will see the use cases in the same light? And what about citizens using their own facial recognition and feeding images to the police? It is clear that a consistent approach to the use of FR technology is critical\, and its application through well-constructed policy and process. \nThe Biometrics Institute brings together the various stakeholders from police\, law enforcement\, private sector\, the regulators and advocates and it provides guiding tools and frameworks to manage FR responsibly. This event will debate the issues and present some new Institute guidance to find solutions. \nThe conversation will be led by Biometrics Institute Expert Group members and guests including:  \n\n	Roger Baldwin\, Advisory Council Member\, Biometrics Institute (moderator)\n	Brett Feldon\, Head of Digital Identity Group\n	David White\, Member\, Technology and Innovation Expert Group\n	Martin George\, Member of Digital Identity Group\n	Mick O’Connell\, Advisory Council Member\n	Terry Aulich\, Head of Privacy Expert Group\n	Terry Hartmann\, Member of Future Direction Group\n	Jason Zhou\, National Solutions Manager\, Digital ID & Biometrics\, NEC Australia\n\nCALL FOR PRESENTING A VIEWPOINT (exclusive to Institute members):\nThere is also the opportunity for members to contribute to the event with a short three-minute viewpoint. This should be a perspective presenting pros and cons or solutions on the subject. \nIf you would like to present a key message\, please email isabelle@biometricsinstitute.org your request (by 24 March) outlining the viewpoint you would like to present. This should be a short paragraph of about 100 words or four bullet points. We will then review the submissions to ensure a balanced discussion representing different viewpoints. \nIf we receive multiple submissions\, we reserve the right to choose the ones we feel are most suitable for the session. \nREGISTRATION\nThis meeting is exclusive to members. To register for the live event\, please email admin@biometricsinstitute.org. \nThe conversation will be available to all members on demand after the live event. \nNot a member and want to join the discussion?

SUMMARY:On the Pulse Conversation: A Need for Multimodal Biometrics?
DESCRIPTION:  \nDATE\n20 February 2025 \nTIME\n7:00 EDT (Washington DC) \n12:00 GMT (London) \n13:00 CET (Brussels) \n20:00 SGT (Singapore) \n23:00 AEDT (Sydney)    \nLOCATION\nLive and on-demand \nDURATION\n60 minutes \nMEETING OUTLINE\nThe Biometrics Institute aims to deliver content to its members in a timely and concise format. Our online On the Pulse Conversations allow our members to connect globally and discuss important topics as and when the conversation is most needed. \n\nThe Institute’s Industry Survey 2024  found that multimodal biometrics are on the rise as our industry seeks enhanced security. Will artificial intelligence (AI) be a game changer for biometrics\, as a fraud enabler but also a fraud detector? And is DNA the next frontier? That is what we are asking in the State of Biometrics Report 2024 . This event will have a look at biometric technology and take stock where we are at the start of the new year and what we are hoping to see develop over the coming months. \nIs there a need for multimodal biometrics? \nOur Industry Survey also revealed that digital identity is fuelling the adoption of biometric technology but concerns over deepfakes prevail. Privacy and data protection remain on top of the agenda. How do we move forward in a responsible\, ethical and effective way? Is multimodal biometrics the answer or what else are we seeing? \nREGISTRATION\nThis meeting is exclusive to members. To register for the live event\, please email admin@biometricsinstitute.org. \nThe conversation will be available to all members on demand after the live event. \nNot a member and want to join the discussion?

SUMMARY:On the Pulse Conversation: AI\, biometrics\, privacy & ethics
DESCRIPTION:On the Pulse Conversation: AI\, biometrics\, privacy & ethics is now available to Biometrics Institute members on-demand here. \n60 minutes on demand \nOVERVIEW \nThe Biometrics Institute aims to deliver content to its members in a timely and concise format. Our online On the Pulse Conversations allow our members to connect globally and discuss important topics as and when the conversation is most needed. \nThis Conversation will be available on demand to all members. Members are invited to make a short submission to present a three-minute viewpoint on the theme at the start of the conversation. This is limited to a maximum of three viewpoints and requires a request to present. \nAI\, biometrics\, privacy and ethics – how to use the technology responsibly \nArtificial Intelligence (AI) is in the spotlight these days and it is critical to get ahead of some of the gaps in understanding (and misinformation) related to the ethical use of AI with respect to biometrics (“the automated recognition of individuals based on biological or behavioural characteristics” according to ISO). Education of decision-makers and ultimately the public is essential at this time.\nThere are different uses of AI for example emotion detection\, age estimation\, etc. This raises questions about what is and what isn’t biometrics. How can AI be used to enhance biometrics\, when ethically (and legally) applied\, and how can it potentially go “off the rails” (including without proper legal guardrails).\nIn this conversation the Biometrics Institute will look at key considerations for the responsible and ethical use of AI and biometrics and will look to the future to assess how perceptions of privacy may be changing and what this may mean for the responsible use of AI and biometrics. \nIn May the Institute released its updated version of the Biometrics Institute Privacy Guidelines including an updated list of potential future developments and a “Test your knowledge” section providing short simple scenarios to see how the principles act in practice. \nThe conversation shall address: \n\n	What are the potential harms (i.e.\, what can go wrong) without sufficient guardrails?\n	What are the biggest challenges for people’s privacy\, how have things changed in recent times?\n	What should regulators and policy makers consider?\n	The challenge of terminology: where do AI and biometrics intersect?\n	The Privacy Guidelines\, how can they help?\n	Some case studies\, what would you do?\n	General comments and questions\, all you wanted to know.\n\nIt is recommended that participants read the Institute’s Privacy Guidelines and Ethical Principles in the lead-up to the event. \nModerator: Terry Aulich\, Head\, Privacy Expert Group (PEG)\, Biometrics Institute \nPanellists:   \n\n	Brett Feldon\, Advisory Council Member\, Biometrics Institute\n	Elizabeth Coombs\, Human Rights\, Privacy\, Governance & Regulation\, Lloyd and Coombs\n	Beatriz Ruiz-Beato\, Biometrics Institute Privacy and Policy Expert Group Member\n	Tuli Faas\, Biometrics Institute Privacy and Policy Expert Group Member

SUMMARY:On the Pulse Conversation: What are the predictions for the future of biometrics and how do we ensure responsible use?
DESCRIPTION:On the Pulse Conversation: What do you need to know about biometric authentication? is now available to Biometrics Institute members on-demand here. \nDURATION\n60 minutes \nMEETING OUTLINE \nThe Biometrics Institute aims to deliver content to its members in a timely and concise format. Our online On the Pulse Conversations allow our members to connect globally and discuss important topics as and when the conversation is most needed. \nThis Conversation will be available on demand to all members. Members are invited to make a short submission to present a three-minute viewpoint on the theme at the start of the conversation. This is limited to a maximum of three viewpoints and requires a request to present. \nWhat are the predictions for the future of biometrics and how do we ensure responsible use?  \nAdoption of biometrics moves at an unprecedented pace and new use cases are continuously evolving. The pandemic has accelerated the need for secure digital transactions. Biometrics have an important role to play in providing convenience through seamless transactions and stronger security while ensuring data and privacy are protected. This event will provide an opportunity for our community to brainstorm what our world will look like in five to ten years’ time and how we need to be prepared for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead to ensure the responsible\, ethical and effective use of biometrics. \nThe conversation will discuss some of the current trends as outlined in the Institute’ State of Biometrics Report. It will test some ideas with the attendees and experts and leave you walk away inspired about what lies ahead and how we can shape the future. It will cover questions such as: \n\n	What do we see as key challenges and opportunities for the biometrics industry in the next 3\, 5 and 10 years?\n\n\n	What geopolitical developments do we anticipate e.g. will the EU still exist? Will we see cross-border governance to achieve globally interoperable identity confirmation on-line and off?\n	How is technology going to evolve – what about quantum computing and AI? Will interoperable foundational identity be created separate from functional\, remote on-boarding and authentication at high assurance levels\, contactless identification?\n	Policy and legal – what laws will have passed and which ones may be needed? How will policy makers understand what ecosystems and guardrails must be in place that facilitate the provisioning of foundational identity and the functional use of same – across borders?\n	Public perception of biometrics – what will it look like? How will we establish and demonstrate trust\, ease of use\, and utility?\n	National and regional differences – will there be a divide between different countries/regions in the use of biometrics\, when it comes to aspects like privacy\, safe-guards etc?\n\n\n	Are there ways to make the opportunities a reality (and how) and mitigate the challenges?\n	What do you see as the role of the Biometrics Institute in shaping this future?\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:On the Pulse Conversation: What do you need to know about biometric authentication?
DESCRIPTION:On the Pulse Conversation: What do you need to know about biometric authentication?  \nDURATION\n60 minutes \nMEETING OUTLINE\nThe Biometrics Institute aims to deliver content to its members in a timely and concise format. Our online On the Pulse Conversations allow our members to connect globally and discuss important topics as and when the conversation is most needed. \nThis Conversation will be available on demand to all members. Members are invited to make a short submission to present a three-minute viewpoint on the theme at the start of the conversation. This is limited to a maximum of three viewpoints and requires a request to present. \nWhat do you need to know about biometric authentication and digital identity? How do you know it is the right person using a digital identity?\nGovernments have been developing plans for digital identity as a way to regularise delivery of citizen services by digital means with potential extension to uses in the commercial sector. Commercially developed access mechanisms are also in regular consumer use to ensure that the right person is granted access to services. External factors like the pandemic have accelerated adoption of digital identities. \nIn many use cases\, biometric technology can be used to ascertain that an interaction is with the right person. It should be considered in the context of the classic three pillars of identity verification: ‘something you have’\, ‘something you know’\, and ‘something you are’. \nAuthentication challenges that biometrics can help to resolve: \n\n	Identity theft\, in which an attempt is made to create a new digital identity using someone else’s real-world identity but is countered by processes in the Institute’s Digital Onboarding and Biometrics\n	Account takeover by a bad actor attempting to take control of an existing digital identity but is countered by strong authentication processes that protect an already established account\n	Account recovery which allows a defrauded person to re-take control of their account\, and where the process cannot rely upon authentication mechanisms usually used. In some cases\, the recovery may in effect be a re-onboarding\, where the Institute’s onboarding guidance may be helpful.\n\nThe Biometrics Institute is going to launch its latest guiding paper Digital Identity and Biometric Authentication with recommended good practices for the use of biometrics in authenticating existing digital identities. It follows on from the considerations presented in the Digital Onboarding and Biometrics paper from 2021.

SUMMARY:US Member Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our exclusive US Member Meeting was attended by over 60 Institute members who discussed major issues around the proposed bans for facial recognition technology under the Chatham House Rule. \nThe meeting welcomed several key stakeholders as guests who made outstanding contributions to the conversation from a European perspective. \nThanks to our moderator Robert Mocny\, Advisory Group Member\, Biometrics Institute and excellent panel of speakers: \n\n	Diane Sabatino\, Deputy Executive Assistant Commissioner for CBP Field Operations\, U.S. Department of Homeland Security – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)\n	Arun Ross\, Professor\, Cillag Endowed Chair\, Department of Computer Science and Engineering\, Michigan State University\n	Lisa MacDonald\, Director\, Identity Capabilities Management Division\, Office of Biometric Identity Management\, U.S. Department of Homeland Security\n	Pam Dixon\, Executive Director\, World Privacy Forum\n\nAs the Biometrics Institute enters its 20th year\, having been established pre-9/11 to promote the responsible and ethical use of biometrics\, we will engage in even more active communication and education on biometrics with the support of our members. Over the years our biometrics community has conducted much testing around facial recognition technology which has shown that biometrics have become a reliable way to identify people quickly and efficiently.\n\nTouchless technology is important in the context of rebuilding travel as we emerge from COVID-19. \nThreats from hostile states\, terrorists and serious criminals have demonstrated that the technology has an important role to play in national security and border management. \nAutomation has helped to improve manual processes\, making them more efficient and secure. This same knowledge will allow the biometrics industry to seek and remedy vulnerabilities\, as well as enable us to prevent new attacks by producing better products and services. \nOne challenge we are facing as an industry is that while we can quantify performance\, we are still discussing how to quantify privacy. There was a reminder also in our US member meeting of the importance of the human in the loop\, not leaving the final decision to a machine. \nThese discussions will continue at this year’s Institute Congress held throughout the biometrics month of October. More details and how to register can be found on the Congress 2021 event page.
