To play devils advocate I guess you could argue that Facial Recognition is passive. Finger print, and by extension palm, requires proactive participation of the user.
I.e. you choose to hand over your palm to be read, you do not make the same choice in Facial Recognition scenarios.
- teachrdan 6y agoWhat if the palm recognition is done without the person's knowledge via camera? Fingerprinting can already be done at a distance. Here's a story about it below from back in 2011. What if the technology is built into door handles or other objects that require active use? As soon as there is an incentive to scan people's palms, technology will be implemented or created to do so. However, Amazon has no incentive to let the public know if there's evidence of multiple people with indistinguishable palms, the rate of false identifications, or other shortcomings of the software. https://www.technologyreview.com/2011/01/14/197589/fingerprints-go-the-distance/ https://www.technologyreview.com/2011/01/14/197589/fingerpri...
