The facial recognition system helps prevent fraud and identity theft by using biometric identifiers that are difficult to forge.
“Our collaboration with SoftPoint represents an exciting opportunity to demonstrate the power of facial biometrics delivering accurate, reliable facial recognition capabilities across industries,” said Ha McNeill, Vice President of Digital Identity at BigBear.ai. SoftPoint CEO Christian “Riv” Rivadalla added that the partnership would “deliver unparalleled security and convenience to businesses and consumers worldwide.”
The technology extends BigBear.ai’s work with facial recognition systems, including its veriScan system deployed at international airports for identity verification. The Trueface solution incorporates ethical guidelines emphasizing transparency and consent in facial recognition deployment.
