The consequences of that acceleration are already proving disastrous for communities around the world. This week’s episode of Start Here cuts through the science and the politics, to get you what you need to know about what’s at stake […]

‘Follow Me’: You Can Run But You Can’t Hide I can unlock my phone with my face, you can access your bank account with your voice and fingerprints are often the key piece of information on a national ID card.
