"Navigating the Ethical and Technical Challenges of Biometric Privacy Deployment"

The increased adoption of biometric surveillance systems in 2024 will lead to a rise in biometric identity theft and anti-surveillance innovations, with individuals using generative AI tools to steal biometric identities and perpetrate fraud. Governments may adopt biometric mimicry for psychological torture, while individuals at higher risk of facial misidentification, such as people of color and gender nonconforming individuals, will face greater challenges. Anti-surveillance fashion will flourish in areas with laws banning live biometrics in public places, and new technologies such as prosthetic extensions and 3D-printed face prosthetics will be used to protect biometric privacy.
