We're going to see an arms race between AI and biometrics / authentication technology. My hope is that the latter outpaces the former, but it doesn't seem to be panning out that way.
In the future, we might be only able to unlock our phone or command Siri when hooked up to a continuous biometrics sensor.

You're probably not too far off from what will eventually become reality.
Perhaps that's Apple's angle with the AR/VR headset it supposedly has in the works - if you've got your headset on, you can unlock your devices, and if you don't, you have to manually unlock devices via a password or PIN or whatever.
Completely agree - but to that - with how quickly AI voice cloning is improving, and how quickly image creation tools are improving, how long will it be until someone can sample my voice well enough to command Siri to do something and Siri won't be able to tell the difference? How long will it be until an AI generated photo of me is so realistic that it can unlock my phone via FaceID?
I have a feeling that's going to happen in a shorter timeframe than we all think it will. I mean, my voice is somewhat similar to my father's, and if I'm around his phone, I can say "Hey Siri" and his phone will think it's his voice, not mine.
