I'm trying to think of how you monetize eyeball scans and the first thing that comes to mind (well, after being able to break biometric security) is training an AI to generate fake but passable eyeballs to undercut the use of iris scans as an anti-bot tool.
Like, it's such a specific piece of data and it's not going to provide much utility for advertising targeting or profiling or whatever else, so I'm not really sure where the money is on this one. Not sure if I'm missing something or if this is another case where I'm trying to assume these people have the barest idea what they're doing.
Selling specific, verifiable biometric identification information to governments and other organizations interested in identifying and tracking individuals, more reliable than fingerprinting. "Buy our eye scanner and be able to instantly identify any person you have in custody!"
It's about control, it's about power, it's about police state.
Silicon Valley's basically an AI cult at this point, so I can see your case.
