"Amazon Introduces Mobile App for Palm-Recognition Service, Raising Privacy Concerns"

Amazon has launched a new Amazon One app on iOS and Android, allowing users to sign up for its palm recognition service directly from their phones. The service, which uses generative AI to analyze palm vein structure, is available at Whole Foods stores, Panera Bread locations, stadiums, airports, fitness centers, and convenience stores. While the technology has raised privacy concerns, Amazon assures that palm and vein images are immediately encrypted and sent to a highly secure zone in the AWS Cloud. The app includes additional spoof detection and does not allow users to save or download palm images to their phones.
