Agree with the insights in your comment about biometrics != security, but I'd like to take a moment to nitpick a slight inaccuracy-- Asian faces don't actually look similar to each other, but they do look similar to a person/model that has been trained mostly on white faces. If the facial recognition model had been trained predominantly on Asian faces, then white faces would look similar to each other instead.
Reminder that the outputs of AI don't reflect some deeper truth about reality, just an extrapolation of the training data. Garbage in, garbage out.

- Affric 3y ago> don’t actually look similar to each other I think this should be “more similar than other groups” rather than simply “similar”. Even then I think it’s possible that some groups have more loci with higher diversity for facial features. That’s not even getting to epigenetic and environmental elements. I think the deeper truth is in your final paragraph: facial similarity is in the eye of the beholder.
