Wearables present serious privacy issues for “Average Joe” consumers, who are entrusting tech companies to safely store and protect their biometric data. Imagine the stakes for a professional athlete, whose entire livelihood could be affected by a single biometric data point. To give one of many realistic hypotheticals: a basketball player has a terrible game, and the coach wonders if they showed up to the gym hungover. The coach has access to the player’s wearable data, and checks to…

The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI by Cory Doctorow review – the real price of artificial intelligence

A vivid and entertaining polemic on the economics of the tech revolution, filled with righteous ire As former Google CEO Eric Schmidt  could tell you, AI is a hard sell these days. Last month, he tried talking up the AI revolution during a commencement address at the University of Arizona and was loudly booed by students about to enter an AI-ravaged job market.

Hackers leak facial recognition records tied to millions of Madison Square Garden visitors

A hacker group has leaked a trove of facial recognition records linked to millions of people who visited Madison Square Garden, exposing biometric data collected by the venue's controversial surveillance system.

Why this matters: Biometric data is uniquely sensitive — unlike passwords, faces cannot be changed. This breach illustrates the compounding risk when venues mass-collect facial recognition data on the public, turning attendance at a concert or game into a permanent, exploitable identity record.
