In this project, we examined emerging biometric AI systems and the socio-technical and legal issues they pose, especially for trust. Both regulators and emerging legislation seeks to curb use of these technologies. There are increasing calls for bans and stricter regulation around their use, particularly when utilised by law enforcement. We utilised novel design fiction scenarios to envision future uses of biometric technologies, and the tensions/issues they could create. We then explored the implications of these with domain experts in order to critically reflect on the challenges and in order to shape policy debates around biometric AI.
