Scottish Biometrics Commissioner - Why isn't this in the news?

[WickyWoman]

On 19 June 2024, a symposium will highlight the Scottish approach to biometric policy and practice. https://www.biometricscommissioner.s...4-magazine.pdf Rather than let people vote on key privacy issues, we are just being told, "Don't worry, we are doing everything ethically." There's no mention of AI or how it will be used to power these databases. There's no mention of how everything will be integrated and that these databases can be accessed not only by governments, but by financial institutions, big tech, utility companies, the NHS, even your local shops. We already know that AI will strive to merge all data to create your digital ID. I really don't care if the people setting up the Scottish biometric policy and practice are claiming they are "lawful, effective and ethical." Is that really true? Consider for a moment that the Scottish Biometrics Commissioner is a member of the global Biometrics Institute which is striving to set policy globally. They are engaging with and sharing the "policy making" table with other members that include Amazon, Mastercard, VISA, Facebook (Meta) and even NATO. These organizations probably do not have Scotland's best interests in mind. Why isn't this topic in the news?
