Google Launches Selfie Video for Account Recovery Amid AI Challenges; Telecoms Adapt to AI Traffic
Google has introduced a selfie video feature for account recovery, allowing users to verify their identity through a short video if they lose access to passwords or other sign-in methods. This biometric method uses AI-powered facial matching and liveness detection but raises concerns amid rising AI-generated deepfakes. Separately, telecom networks face challenges as AI agents become continuous, machine-to-machine customers, altering traditional traffic patterns and requiring network adaptations to handle persistent, data-intensive AI communications.
