@ramkay@mastodon.social Not really what I mean, though. An Aadhaar number can be stolen or leaked, and misused, like any other ID credential.
What I mean is, for instance, you have to go in person to your bank to scan your irises before they'll talk to you.
I thought maybe an app could do it, but I realized I couldn't bet against genAI being able to falsify that.

@solitha@mastodon.social understood Aadhaar is headed that way already For many services (including new sims) fingerprint verification is required. Many agencies - both govt, and private are self adopting biometric verification even in violation of the law the explicitly states it is not to be used for such purposes. I think it is a short matter if time that GenAI will have access to stolen biometrics that will be misused.
