Abstract
As biometric technologies mature serious challenges have been identified in their effective deployment for a range of applications. Technological remedies that can address issues such as accuracy, scalability, security, privacy and usability often entail the introduction of additional complexity. At the same time new applications demand evermore simplicity and greater reliability for the users. To square this circle, new approaches to integrating adaptive intelligence as part of biometric solutions will be explored in this chapter. The paradigm of intelligent agents and their applicability to biometric systems will be considered given the trends in hardware and software development and the demands of new application areas. In particular the widening of the application domain to virtual worlds will also be considered where artificial biometric identities may be developed to provide ambient intelligence in digital worlds. Finally, the possibility of extending the biometrics paradigm beyond the realm of human identification will also be presented as another possible direction for future development.
