23 Nov Beyond the Scan: The Dark Side of Biometric Identification
In this episode, we explore the critical intersection of biometric identification, law, and ethics with insights from “Biometric Identification, Law and Ethics” by Marcus Smith and Seumas Miller. As biometric technologies like fingerprint, facial, and DNA recognition become more integrated into everyday life—from securing smartphones to enhancing law enforcement efforts—they also raise urgent ethical and legal concerns. We’ll unpack issues around privacy, autonomy, and collective responsibility, while examining how biometrics can both empower and potentially infringe on individual rights. Join us as we analyze the rapid evolution of biometric technology and discuss essential regulatory principles needed to safeguard democratic values in this digital age.
