Progress on biometric data privacy too slow, incomplete, say experts
As the use of artificial intelligence, or AI, technology is accelerating, enabling the use of deepfakes and other manufactured false images to perpetrate such misdeeds as identify theft and similar falsifications, experts are calling for actions to prevent these types of deceptions. Katina Michael, a professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, whose research focuses on the socioethical implications of emerging technologies, is among those calling for an international biometric bill of rights to deal with the problem. Protections that enable consumers to take legal action when they believe their data has been misused are needed, Michael says.
