ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

For the first time we are bringing this workshop to Australia, taking place alongside the annual Asia-Pacific Conference in Sydney. This afternoon workshop will dive into the considerations required to navigate the evolving landscape of AI, deepfakes and biometric security and discuss ways in which AI — specifically, Generative AI (GenAI) —  is impacting the field of biometrics. 

Speakers will address the following questions:

What are the pros and cons of utilising synthetic biometric data, such as face images, to train and test biometric systems?

Can face examiners detect altered or synthetic faces such as face morphs and deepfakes?

Is Generative AI impacting society’s trust in biometrics?

How can AI be harnessed for enhancing the security and privacy of biometric users?

WORKSHOP PRESENTERS

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This event is recommended for anyone involved in the planning, development or operation of a biometric application. It is suitable for delegates who have little or no knowledge of biometric technologies as well as those who have worked with biometrics for a long time.  Organisations are therefore encouraged to send a diverse group of personnel, for example, policy makers, operational and technical managers, customer service representatives, human resources, legal, privacy and data protection staff, to facilitate open, balanced and productive conversations. It will help create stronger consensus within your organisation on what good biometrics look like.

The course is highly interactive and participants will be encouraged to bring to bear their own experiences and areas of expertise during the discussion sessions.
