it issues an ID on a user\u2019s phone and destroys its own copies of the photo once verification is completed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Concerns About Privacy<\/strong>: Experts like UC Law Assistant Professor Zac Henderson warn about the risks associated with biometric data, highlighting its permanence and the lack of reversibility if compromised.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mixed Public Reaction<\/strong>: Public opinion is divided with some, like Pacifica resident Paul Volfovski, seeing the technology as innovative and unavoidable, while others find it unsettling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perception of the Future<\/strong>: There is a sense among some observers that widespread adoption of biometric verification may be inevitable despite ongoing debates around privacy and security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial Intelligence: The Orb, new AI tech by Tools for Humanity, scans your iris to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":221964,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.abcotvs.com\/dip\/images\/19188366_052826-kgo-ai-eye-scan-img.jpg?w=1600","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-221962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221962"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221962"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221962\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":221965,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221962\/revisions\/221965"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
