‘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. All of this – face, voice, fingerprints – they’re our biometrics. Unique algorithmic measurements of us that are revolutionising the process of identification.
