Thoughtful Biometrics Workshop

March 16th, 2023

With Senators calling for bans on biometric technologies the time for industry to actually talk with critics from civil society is now. This event creates space for “uncommon conversations” to deepen understanding between various stakeholders all engaged in work related to biometrics AI and digital identity to consider the social and policy implications.

Inspired by the Internet Identity Workshop, we use Open Space Technology to co-create the agenda live the morning of the event. We welcome participants from civil society advocacy groups, scientists and academics that research and innovate biometric technologies, companies that make biometric products, organizations that implement biometric technologies and interested citizens.

There are many biometrics, ways to capture and measure them, and places in a techno-social system they can be implemented. The technology landscape is wide and the policy and issue landscape they present is also vast. This is what we explore at the Thoughtful Biometrics Workshop. We gather humans who care about, are interested in, and are concerned about technology, in order for new perspectives and opportunities to shape future policy to emerge.
