Prof. Anupam Saraph, a Systems Thinker and Thought Leader at Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research based in India participate in Risk Roundup to discuss Complex Process Challenges of Autonomous Human Recognition Identification System.
Overview
As a digital global age necessitates increasing levels of connectivity, mobility, privacy, and security, physical identity is on its way to being replaced or supplemented by evolving digital identity and authentication applications of biometric technology. Despite the seemingly enormous potential of biometric technology, its implementation is creating complex process and policy challenges (largely due to the scale of deployment), from the need to protect collected data from abuse and misuse while being collected, processed, stored, and accessed. Each of these data journey steps brings nations few knowns and mostly unknowns that are too complex to manage.
Even with many complex technologies, data, processes, and policy limitations, many nations have begun introducing several applications of biometrics-based identification and authentication and even attempting to make it intelligent and autonomous.
While the introduction of biometrics affects the way human society is evolving towards knowledge-based information and intelligence age and poses a number of complex technical, process, people, and policy challenges, they need to be addressed in the near future if the evolving complex system process and policy is to shape the identification and authentication application of biometrics rather than react to it. It is important to understand and evaluate:
- What is driving the trend towards the autonomous human recognition identification system?
- What will be the impact of human recognition identification system implementation on society?
- What needs to change for a future society where biometrics based human recognition identification system is used in many ways?
- What is required to gain trust from nations citizens that the human recognition identification system implementation will not create a surveillance society?
- What are the risks of using biometrics for national id?
While biometric technologies provide a strong mechanism for authentication of human identity, the technology is still under development, and major process and policy challenges need to be addressed before nations can have effective human identity system implementation and acceptance. Time is now to discuss Human Identity and Authentication Automation Process Challenges and Risks!
