What an incredible gathering of brilliant minds and shared purpose! It was fantastic to see so many people from all over the world come together to discuss biometrics and responsible use at #BiometricsAPC 2025. Some key takeaways from the event: 🎯 Biometric identification of people by people must be for the people: Solutions should always prioritise the needs and benefits of the end-user. 🤔 Who are we doing this for?: A recurring question was about the true beneficiary of biometric solutions – is it for the company’s efficiency or the customer’s convenience and security? 💰 Cost-saving vs customer acceptance: While cost-saving is important, it shouldn’t compromise user experience or trust. 🗣️ Informed consent & transparency: The need for clear communication and education about biometric technologies, privacy, and data security was frequently highlighted. 🛠️ Inclusive and effective systems: Robust testing is crucial to ensure biometric systems work for everyone, including “edge groups.” If you were there, let us know what you thought.
