Thanks for this interesting point of view. However, it may makes sense to consider whether the gap you point to can be reduced significantly with AI, by training it separately with aging eye data using existing medical data independent from the general iris pool. I have no idea how realistic that would be personally.

Are you willing to gatekeep you wealth behind an AI that might hallucinate that your iris has changed more than it actually has?

Why would you assume I'm in any way partial to this technology? If AI is being used to tackle medical domains, it stands to reason they would try to use it to overcome what the GP considers to be important constraints, especially since the guy in question also runs an AI company.

And what part of "I have no idea how realistic that would be personally" implies that I think it can be done without the danger of hallucinations.

I wondered this with things like FaceID. In my head, every time it unlocks it’s tweaking and tuning the what it knows to be the user, so it can adapt as a person ages, goes through weight changes, etc. However, in practice this may not be the case, since there is an easy backup and a person can re-register pretty easily.

On the topic of eyes, my dad recently had surgery on his eyes and they did one at a time, for obvious reasons. That could be a way to transition. Register both, have surgery on one, let it heal, register the healed eye, have surgery on the other, then register that. Always using the good and registered eye to authenticate. But this isn’t realistic. It requires way too much forethought and planning, when people’s minds are elsewhere.
