"Amazon Introduces Palm-Scanning Tech for Office Access Control"
Amazon is introducing Amazon One Enterprise, a palm-scanning technology designed for businesses, allowing employees to use their hand as an authentication tool to enter offices or access sensitive information. The service is being offered to companies such as IHG Hotels and Resorts, Boon Edam, and Kone. Amazon claims that palm recognition is more private than other biometric systems and offers a cheaper and more secure solution compared to traditional security tools. However, advocacy groups have raised concerns about privacy and increased surveillance. Amazon One was originally developed as a payment system and has been deployed in various retail locations.
