My gym also uses facial recognition, but does it via a person sitting behind a desk checking that my member ID matches my face. I don't think many people are uncomfortable with this process, and this biometric method has been used for a long time.
- hbbio 8y agoYes, but there are few chances that the person sitting behind the deck will be the target of a brain cyberattack!
- Nikaoto 8y agoYes, but that person can't copy your biometric data stored in their brain, convert it to a standardized format, and distribute it to millions of other devices.
- seanf 8y agoYou mean like a photo?
- Nikaoto 8y agoThey would have to use a camera, which you would have to allow.
- nathancahill 8y agoEvery gym I've joined snaps your picture when you sign up.

- java-man 8y agothe big difference is that the data is stored temporarily in a human brain. as opposed to, you know, somewhere in a poorly designed system which gets hacked. (sorry, apparently joined a chorus)
- seanf 8y agoThe photo on the card is already stored in a system somewhere, and already vulnerable to attack. The brain is just for authentication at the door.
- leetcrew 8y agothe gym thing seems like a bit of a red herring. certainly when you're in your own home you have a reasonable expectation of privacy. even in a shared public space, you ought to have some legal protection against being arbitrarily tracked/surveiled. but on the literal physical premises of a private business, I'm not sure it's such a reasonable expectation.
