Featuring the Proper Second Video, Biometrics and Bredemarket

My “Biometrics and Bredemarket” video is buried in the middle of my “Ready, Fire, Aim” post, but people are finding it anyway.

(They’re skipping the short video and watching the long one.)

So it’s time to feature “Biometrics and Bredemarket” on its own.

Biometrics and Bredemarket.

If you don’t feel like watching a 2 minute and 20 second video, here are the bullets:

  • Marketing and writing deliverables
  • Provided by a biometric product marketing expert 
  • With industry knowledge
  • Of multiple biometric modalities
  • Who delivers content
  • And proposals
  • And analyses.

Learn more in the video, or at my “CPA” page.

Not that type of CPA.

Repeating Yourself on Social Media

(Fire image from Imagen 3)

Your social followers probably don’t see your updates.

I provided a “fire update” status to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Threads on Wednesday.

From my personal Facebook, reshared elsewhere.

On Thursday, someone who follows me on all four platforms asked if I was affected by the fires.

So don’t be afraid of repeating yourself.

A3ML: When Regular AML is Not Good Enough

As some of you know, AML stands for Anti-Money Laundering. It ensures that money given to Johnny Angel doesn’t end up in the hands of Vladimir Putin. This impacts financial institutions:

“Banks had to follow government regulations (know your customer, anti-money laundering, know your business), even in the midst of a worldwide pandemic.”

But AML goes far beyond banks because of its national security implications. Which means the military has to get involved.

Therefore DARPA has entered the picture, with its Program Announcement (posted on SAM as DARPA-SN-25-23) for something DARPA calls “Anticipatory and Adaptive Anti-Money Laundering,” or A3ML.

Uh, what? GovTribe explains:

“The program seeks to develop sophisticated algorithmic methods that can analyze financial transaction graphs and detect suspicious patterns more effectively than existing manual processes. This initiative represents a significant shift towards proactive and predictive financial crime detection methodologies.”

Of course, the introduction of the word “predictive” raises alarm bells, based upon activities outside of banking. At best, police potentially waste a lot of time investigating every single broken tail light. At worst, Muslim lawyer Brandon Mayfield becomes a suspect for a crime he didn’t commit.

Hopefully the people pursuing A3ML can minimize bias.

Use One ID, Lose Another: China vs. China

(Chiang and Mao in 1945, Public Domain)

When you obtain a government ID from one national government, you normally don’t get a second government ID from a different national government, unless you hold dual citizenship.

But for some pairs of countries, dual citizenship is untenable.

“President Lai Ching-te (賴清德) has cautioned Taiwanese citizens against China’s reported efforts to lure them into applying for Chinese ID cards and residency permits.”

Because Taiwan is a contested territory, acceptance of People’s Republic of China IDs could resulted in PRC claims to Taiwan…to protect its citizens there. Therefore Taiwan really discourages this.

“According to local regulations, citizens who receive a Chinese ID will have their Taiwanese household registration revoked.”

And we thought that moving Meta’s trust and safety teams from California to Texas was a big deal. At least the states of California and Texas are not launching military strikes against each other.

At least not yet.

If you’re a Chief Marketing Officer at an identity/biometric company, welcome to 2025.

What content have you created so far to drive awareness?

None?

Guess you missed my December 30 message.

You could be well on the way to creating your 2025 content already: blog posts, articles, case studies, white papers, proposals, analyses.

It’s not too late to start.

Or you could wait until next week, next month…

But if you want to learn how Bredemarket can work with you to create the identity/biometric content you need now, schedule a free meeting with me to move forward now.

Vision Language Model (VLM)

A Vision Language Model (VLM) is a particular type of Large Multimodal Model (LMM).

Hugging Face:

“Vision language models are broadly defined as multimodal models that can learn from images and text. They are a type of generative models that take image and text inputs, and generate text outputs…. There’s a lot of diversity within the existing set of large vision language models, the data they were trained on, how they encode images, and, thus, their capabilities.”

Ipsotek:

“VISense (is) a groundbreaking addition to its VISuite platform that redefines real-time video analytics with Vision Language Models (VLMs). VISense represents a major advancement in Generative AI integration, using VLMs to achieve detailed scene understanding and contextual insights empowering operators to make informed decisions promptly….

“VISense allows users to ask questions like, “Let me know when something unusual is happening in any camera view” and receive a detailed response describing the unusual aspect of the captured behaviour. For instance, it might respond, “Yes, there is a flood; water levels are rising in the northern section, and several vehicles are stranded, causing heavy traffic congestion,” providing actionable insights that enable quick decisions.”
