Fingerprints have been used as a tool for many decades. Other biometrics included dna, voice pattern, and palm prints. Facial recognition has become the new chosen form of Biometric Technology. As facial Recognition Technology has advanced, it is used by the government and the private sector. This collection is storing different kinds of biometric information. Can usetsa cant those, for example. To biometricsed technology and i recognize it can be valuable to Homeland Security. However, its proliferation across dhs raises serious questions about privacy, Data Security, transparency, and accuracy. The American People deserve answers to those questions. The Committee Held roundtable discussions with both industry and Civil Liberties. The increasing use of Biometric Technology. Sufficients have concerns that the data dhs is whether thend department is safeguarding our rights appropriately. We have good reasons to be concerned. Americans may not know when the department is collecting biome
I now recognize myself for an opening statement. The parent of homeless security is beating to examine the Homeland Securitys use of facial wreck mission and other Biometric Technologies. Government use of biometrics is not entirely new area fingerprints have been used as an identification tool for many decades. Dna andometrics include palm prints. In recent years facial recognition has become the new chosen form of Biometric Technology, as facial Recognition Technology has advanced it is used by the government its use by the government in the private sector has also increased. Dhs is collect ding and storing different kinds of biometric information and using this information for multiple purposes. Cpv and tsa are using biometrics confirm the identities of travelers. Opposed to Biometric Technology and recognized it can be valuable to Homeland Security. However, it proliferation a phrases across dhs questions about privacy, security, transparency and accuracy. People deserve an answer
Test. Test. Test. Its an absolute vulnerability that terrorists can exploit. Its a vulnerability we need to address. Dr. Romney, i guess from what im hearing from you is we dont want to get this wrong. I think ms. Watson coleman was talking about herself being possibly in this pool of candidates that could get somehow mischaracterized. Tell me where we are with the technology. How accurate is it . The very best algorithms weve tested the most recently have false negative rates that are extremely low. The accuracy can range for the best algorithms in a one to many match can range into the 99. 7 range. So 99. 7 accuracy. Yes. Thats pretty good. From a scientific standpoint its a high number for me. Its very high. Youre a scientist. Im not, but it sounds pretty high to me. Its always a balance in this committee and when we deal with security issues, we always have to balance these as americans and i think its important that we balance those factors. Its stopped a lot of bad actors from co
This week, I experimented with building a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) image classification model. I wanted to give GitHub Copilot a try. GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that helps with code completions. One.
