Kevin Surace says AI can now clone faces and voices so convincingly that they're useless for security. Fingerprints stay reliable because they can't be duplicated, aren't stored in the cloud, and live in a device's secure element. Passwords get shared, tokens get stolen.

Voice cloning and face cloning is near perfection today. It's exceptionally good. And so when I talk about biometrics, you notice I'm always talking about fingerprint because your fingerprint can't easily be duplicated. We don't store it anywhere. We don't store it in the network. Hopefully this is mine stored in the device and nobody can get it out. It's in a secure element. So people say, well, can't I use my face? A hacker can also use your face. Oh, I didn't think about that. Can't I use my voice? I'm sorry, a hacker can reproduce your voice in a few minutes. So no, voice is done. Face is done. We do not use voice and face for anything that you want to be absolutely sure that the person you think is logging in is logging in. You can use fingerprint. In the days of it's something I possess or it's something I know, it turns out that something you know is very easy to relay to someone. You give it to someone.
