Better_AI_Meetup on Clearer Vision: How AI Helps Solving Ethnicity Bias and Long-Distance Accuracy in Face Recognition

Join Better_AI_Meetup, a space for AI designers and builders who believe in a better world with AI.

How reliable is biometric identification in the real world? And what challenges still stand in the way of making it truly fair and accurate? The 19th Better AI Meetup will dive into biometrics and the role AI plays in improving how we recognize and verify identity.

First up, Christoph Busch from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and one of the most renowned biometric researchers, will explore how demographic differences impact face image quality and the accuracy of biometric systems. He will also introduce ways to mitigate bias and move towards more standardized and fair results.

Jakub Nemček, AI researcher from biometric technology provider Innovatrics, will then focus on real-world challenges such as lighting conditions, aging, make-up, and long-distance image capture. These factors can significantly affect image quality due to distortion and atmospheric turbulence, and he will unpack how AI can help address them.
