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.

PIN all the way to the end of times. Preferably without any device being connected to the cloud.
