Building AI without bias. Reducing bias in biometrics

Artificial intelligence (AI) automates tasks at unimaginable scale, speed, and accuracy. But, when applied to biometrics, it can perform better for some than others.

This white paper offers guidance based on our experience of defining, measuring, and mitigating biometric bias, and describes our experience executing bias mitigation in our next-generation biometric solution, Onfido Motion.

How does Onfido use biometrics?

Our biometric verification means users can prove their identity using their smartphone or computer. This means they can access regulated services without the need to go to a physical location. It also means businesses can better detect identity fraud to protect themselves and their users.

Our latest biometric innovation, Onfido Motion, is used in conjunction with a document check. A user submits a photo of their ID and a selfie video where they turn their head. Our AI, Atlas™, then analyzes the authenticity of their ID, the authenticity of the selfie, and matches it to the photo on the document.
