Summary
Amazon is introducing a version of its palm-scanning technology for businesses, allowing employees to use their hand to enter the office or access sensitive data. The technology, called Amazon One Enterprise, is being pitched as a cheaper and more secure solution compared to traditional security tools. Several companies have already signed up for the biometric technology. Amazon originally introduced its palm-scanning payment system in 2020 and has since expanded its use beyond grocery stores. Critics have raised privacy and security concerns, but Amazon claims that palm recognition is more private than other biometric systems.
