The RCR Biometrics Webinar dives into the fascinating and unsettling world of biometric technology—how it has evolved, its ethical implications, and its growing role in surveillance and security. Paul Brennan & Maree Buscke as they sit down with Steven Sykes from Tech Tuesday and explore the history of facial recognition, eugenics, and digital privacy, questioning whether convenience is worth the potential risks. With governments quietly rolling out biometric policies, they warn of a future where personal freedoms could be at stake. Thought-provoking, eye-opening, and at times humorous, this discussion urges listeners to stay informed and push back where necessary.
