Biometrics Intelligence

Over the last few weeks there’s seemingly been a lot of activity with Persona which led me to thinking about what it is that is so interesting about biometric enabled intelligence.

Biometrics intelligence refers to the information obtained from
and related to unique biological characteristics, such as fingerprints,
iris scans, or facial features, as well as associated contextual data that
can positively identify a specific person and match an unknown identity to
various objects, locations, devices, components.

And we can see this in the collection of these data points and digital identities
while also knowing that the collection of biomarkers can become skewed.
This data point is seemingly something that is seen as desirable for companies like Persona.
Connecting an unknown identity to some various object.

In closing:
What are some ways people might consider protecting their biometric data and to what end is even possible?

How much of what they have do they even get right?

I’m reminded of a talk given by Gemma Galdon-Clavell over a decade now - the overall topic was essentially “identify your data-double, and then sabotage it.” What’s especially topical here was that mid-talk she uttered a sentence that has stuck with me since: “States need people’s identities to stay stable.”

What is more stable, of course, than immutable biometrics?
