About

Identity is fundamental to every person on the planet. And, increasingly, to everything else too. At Biometric Update I cover developments in the technology that powers digital identity and surveillance and the many social impacts. I produce and present the ID16.9 Podcast which explores why more than a billion people in the world have no legal identity and what organisations are trying to do reach the United Nations' goal of legal identity for all by 2030: Sustainable Development Goal 16.9. I interview leaders from the organisations, staff on the ground and gather the first-hand stories of people facing identity challenges around the world.
