One of the presidential candidates for FIDE, the chess world's governing body, wants biometric data and AI modelling to counter online cheating.
I think I'd prefer a little cheating on chess servers than FIDE having my personal data and AI engines checking up on me

Looking at https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/6300638 and https://www.androidcentral.com/how-does-android-save-your-fingerprints, I'm curious what y'all think about modern #Android devices' "Trusted Execution Environment" storing #fingerprints (for authentication, unlocking, etc.) in, allegedly, a TPM-backed secure enclave that the OS doesn't have access to (really?)… For Pixel phones, Google claims biometrics never leave the TEE enclave, never touch servers, etc.
I wouldn't use it to travel… but local? I saw some geek friends using it.

#ICE Plans to Develop Own #SmartGlasses to ‘Supplement’ Its #FacialRecognition App
…“supplement” the agency’s facial recognition #MobileFortify application, which lets officers scan someone’s face to verify their #citizenship, according to a Department of #HomelandSecurity ( #DHS ) official. Another person who attended a conference where a senior ICE official spoke about the plans also described them to 404 Media.

Public awareness of neurocrime and what it means and how to combat it is deeply lacking.
UNESCO’s Commission on Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology (COMEST) had urged the global community to act on the basis of Precautionary Principle, rather than wait for harm to occur.

Babylonian Biometrics and Widespread Methodological Shortcomings | Communications of the ACM
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3744705I just finished reading this. An interesting look into poor academic citation practices (leading to citogenesis https://xkcd.com/978/), historical accuracy, and biometrics.
Also, this is a good read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_citogenesis_incidents

NIST: NIST Helps Fingerprint Examiners With New Data and Software Release. “A NIST collection of 10,000 fingerprints has now been fully annotated with details that will help train both human fingerprint examiners and AI tools. NIST has also released open-source software that can help evaluate and sort fingerprints according to their quality, potentially helping fingerprint examiners work more […]

„I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here's What I Actually Handed Over.“
https://thelocalstack.eu/posts/linkedin-identity-verification-privacy/
„The whole thing took three minutes. Scan, selfie, done.
Understanding what I actually agreed to took me an entire weekend reading 34 pages of legal documents.
I handed a US company my passport, my face, and the mathematical geometry of my skull. They cross-referenced me against credit agencies and government databases. They’ll use my documents to train their AI. And if the US government comes knocking, they’ll hand it all over — even if it’s stored in Europe, even if I’m European, and possibly without ever telling me.
All for a small blue checkmark on a professional networking site.“

DHS Wants a Single Search Engine to Flag Faces and Fingerprints Across Agencies | WIRED

#ICE and CBP’s #FaceRecognition App Can’t Actually Verify Who People Are
ICE has used #MobileFortify to identify #immigrants and #citizens alike over 100,000 times, by one estimate. It wasn't built to work like that—and only got approved after #DHS abandoned its own #privacy rules.

The document shows a shift at ICE towards lawless roving patrols.
There's obviously no requirement for American citizens to carry proof of citizenship at all times.
But not only is ICE demanding proof of citizenship while pointing guns at people they are also demanding biometric scans of faces and even fingerprints without a warrant or even probable cause!

You Can't Refuse To Be Scanned by ICE's #FacialRecognition App, #DHS Document Says - Slashdot
The document provides new details about the technology behind #MobileFortify , how the data it collects is processed and stored, and DHS's rationale for using it. On Wednesday 404 Media reported that both #ICE and Customs and #Border Protection ( #CBP ) are scanning peoples' faces in the streets to verify #citizenship
> of course they say that 👎😡

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is using a new mobile phone app that can identify someone based on their fingerprints or face by simply pointing a smartphone camera at them, according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. The underlying system used for the facial recognition component of the app is ordinarily used when people enter or exit the U.S. Now, that system is being used inside the U.S. by ICE to identify people in the field.
The news highlights the Trump administration’s growing use of sophisticated technology for its mass deportation efforts and ICE’s enforcement of its arrest quotas. The document also shows how biometric systems built for one reason can be repurposed for another, a constant fear and critique from civil liberties proponents of facial recognition tools.
“Face recognition technology is notoriously unreliable, frequently generating false matches and resulting in a number of known wrongful arrests across the country. Immigration agents relying on this technology to try to identify people on the street is a recipe for disaster. Congress has never authorized DHS to use face recognition technology in this way, and the agency should shut this dangerous experiment down,” Nathan Freed Wessler, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, told 404 Media in an email."
