So the aging question we explored and talked-- helped you think through this phenomenon of zombie cells who owns your biometrics , and should the big tech companies get broken up-- I think it would be catastrophically bad
But India has made a significant investment in making sure that every person in India has a national ID, that that national ID is connected to their biometrics so that they are able to access that at any time. National identity is a significant issue for poor people.
It's in our book. We take all their biometrics when they walk in, get their blood.
So they don't have their national IDs, et cetera. So the ability to build biometrics into that and to make it accessible when people cross borders are what makes blockchain particularly interesting in a lot of these cases.
belonged there or insurgents that didn't belong there. Things like biometric and standoff biometrics , where you know they can fingerprint people from a, remotely from a distance so you don't even know it's happening, or mobile fingerprint scanners so that if you get stopped at a for a traffic violation they can ask you to give you, give them your fingerprints.
No, that's where you're going to get a scary emergent AI is these completely unsupervised, unwatched All right, so will biometrics in the virtual reality bring back to the village where everyone knows everyone else?
So let's talk about how we can each assess our own health risk. OK, so biometrics , certain lab results can be a guide. The great news I gave you today is genes are more like software.
So that was a bit of an honor to actually insult my heroes. but one company that's fascinated me called iProov-- that's built I-P-R-O-O-V-- using face recognition and biometrics , making it possible to start a bank
And what that means is that, when you go to your doctor, you will get, for example, drugs prescribed based not just on population averages but based on your personal biology understood through genome sequencing, and biometrics , and other things. When you have cancer-- right now, there's a revolution in how cancers are being treated.
Yeah, I think one of the things that makes blockchain interesting in that particular use case-- and it's one we're still exploring. We haven't implemented yet-- is the ability for those records to be transferable across borders and to be accessible through biometrics . So if a person returns to their home country, a lot of times when refugees cross borders,
But because the Tandem was fault-tolerant, nonstop, it always ran the completion. I became a professor in the University when I got my degree, a professor of radiology biometrics and preventive medicine. And I had millions of dollars, every year, grant funding from NCI to do cancer research.
of a platform like YouTube, you know, as if it was a distribution channel and what the politics and potentials of platforms might be. But even, you know, most of the large-scale biometrics that we have treat viewing as if it was a singular thing.
we also were stacked on all of her bills and her financial responsibilities. This came at a time where to Diana, Maria's immigration saga had seemed nearly over. Her green card petition was approved and a biometrics appointment was set, one of the last steps before a decision. Detention changed that, but this isn't just an immigration case.
And without that, they're significantly limited in their ability to open a bank account, in their ability to access government services, in their ability to be recognized, in their ability to vote. And so for India making the commitment to establish this national identity and connecting it to biometrics has been a significant investment and a significant advancement towards their end to poverty.
and lives a long time. And then there may be other devices you can look at to measure it through very sort of quantified self techniques that we're learning about. What-what's going on the other biometrics .
