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

The Register: Scotland Yard can keep using live facial recognition on people in London, say judges. “London’s Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) has survived a legal challenge that attempted to curb its rollout of live facial recognition (LFR) technology across the capital. The challenge was brought against the Met by civil liberties organization Big Brother Watch, which was representing Shaun […]

"Sam Altman’s iris-scanning, identify-verification technology startup says it will begin expanding to the US starting May 1 and will launch a phone-like hardware device by next year. Those changes—and a promised World-branded debit card—signal the company’s ambitions to develop a “super app”—a goal shared by Elon Musk.
Altman and Alex Blania, a German physics researcher, announced at an event in San Francisco Wednesday evening that their venture-backed company, Tools for Humanity, is updating its “World” products to include a new, smaller, eye-scanning orb. The device-and-app combo scans people’s irises, creates a unique user ID, stores that information on the blockchain, and uses it as a form of identity verification. If enough people adopt the app globally, the thinking goes, it could ostensibly thwart scammers.
Altman has expressed concern about the amount of fakery that new AI tools will enable, including the generative AI tools pioneered by his other startup, OpenAI, which is valued at $300 billion. So the World app, and its hardware component, are Altman’s solution to the problem."

Exiting Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar on Monday called for remote voting mechanisms for NRIs and migrant workers, biometric authentication to cast votes, and non-disclosure of votes (to guard against post-poll violence) for each candidate.

The next frontier of "#fingerprinting" is #biometrics, and the pretexts to establish it are "secure authentication", convenience, and "fighting bots".
Biometrics come in handy when interested parties feel annoyed by people striving to use, e.g., more #privacy preserving hardware and software: why not directly "fingerprint" users, the real people? You can switch to a different browser, but not so much to a different body.
It's not just about established technologies like literal fingerprint readers; #face recognition; #iris recognition; or measuring the timing of keystrokes, mouse movements, or touchpad swipes.
Seven years ago, there was already a paper on using an Electroencephalogram (EEG) to measure your reaction to (un)familiar visual stimuli, for "authentication" purposes.
Following up on such ideas, there are now #EU #tenders for exploring "#stimulus-induced biometrics", that is, measuring your body's reactions to specific stimuli, with the goal of identifying you. Because you just can't stop your reactions.
As always, "fingerprinting" you will be sold to you as a "convenience" (control your computer only with your mind!) and "security enhancement".
BTW, if you already own smart vacuuming robots, indoor cameras and Alexa that have charted your home and habits: have you ever wondered why some "entrepreneurs" are so excited about brain implants that will "enhance" everybody's "capabilities"…?
