> I feel like there are clearly ways in which facial recognition can improve a lot of systems -- ticketing (think airports, sporting events, concerts etc); automated stores (like the amazon cashierless stores); payment (imagine not needing a wallet because the combination of your face, gait, and voice is enough to verify you); security (home/building/car entry, detecting suspicious individuals, known terrorists, past offenders, restraining orders) I’m not even sure how facial recognition brings anything fundamentally different to the table in these examples: no airport will let you board only by facial recognition. Even payment is already super fast with contactless terminals, and credit card companies will never allow low fees billing by face recognition alone. Every other low stake application already has a somewhat fast biometric option that didn’t take off because people just don’t want biometric databases of them (either by just being too lazy to opt in and give the info, either by clear opinion)
