IDENTITY AND ETHICS IN THE AGE OF AI BIOMETRICS
About the Event
Beyond Passwords: AI Biometrics & the Future of Digital Trust
The way we prove who we are online is undergoing its most radical transformation yet. As AI reshapes finance, governance, and culture, the future of identity sits at the center of innovation and ethics. What happens when biometric authentication and machine intelligence converge? How do we protect assets, comply with global regulation, and build systems people can trust?
Join G-Knot during Korea Blockchain Week for an intimate panel discussion on the ethics, principles, and opportunities of AI-powered biometrics. Hosted at the stunning Catalyst Haus in Seoul, an architectural landmark designed for cultural and intellectual exchange, this event blends serious dialogue with the creative, high-energy atmosphere that KBW is known for.
This is not a theoretical debate. Our speakers are practitioners and thought leaders actively building the systems that will underpin tomorrow’s economy, from cognitive science and fintech strategy to AI data reliability. Expect rigorous perspectives, forward-looking case studies, and candid conversation about what it will take to safeguard digital assets and identities in an AI-driven world.
