Can biometric systems identify us without compromising our most personal information?
In short: As digital identity becomes essential for a functioning society, we must ask if biometric systems truly reduce crime or merely create new vulnerabilities. This lecture explores whether we can achieve security without broadcasting our private data.
Professor Richard Harvey investigates the efficacy of various biometric systems, questioning which methods are reliable and which are essentially guesswork. The discussion addresses the tension between the necessity of digital identification and the potential for increased exposure of personal information.
The lecture also touches upon the complexities of modern computer vision and artificial intelligence, fields where Harvey has applied his expertise in statistical estimation theory and signal processing.
