Face ID Was Built Before AI Could Fake You
About this episode
Apple designed Face ID to fail once in a million tries, and called it secure enough. Zach Meltzer, CEO of VeryAI, says that number is 100,000x too weak. His palm scanner hits one in 100 trillion with both hands, runs on any phone camera, and needs no hardware. He built VeryAI after 3 years watching identity systems break at Galxe (34M users). Face ID was built before AI could fake you, now it can.
