SUMMARY - Biometrics and Next-Generation Risks

A person unlocks their phone with facial recognition, enjoying seamless convenience while facial data is stored by companies they will never interact with directly. Someone submits DNA to a genealogy service seeking family history and discovers their genetic information contributed to solving a crime they had nothing to do with through law enforcement access to the database. A paralyzed person regains communication ability through a brain-computer interface that reads neural signals, revolutionary medical technology that also means a corporation now processes their thoughts.
