Search every verified Ajay Amlani interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Ajay Amlani, CEO of Aware, Inc., discussed the company’s focus on biometric identity technology and its applications in an August 2026 appearance on The Big Biz Show. He described Aware’s software as serving government agencies and enterprises that need to verify a person’s identity, noting the company has 75 issued patents and has been publicly traded since 1996. Amlani highlighted the role of liveness detection, which uses signals such as facial micro-movements and light reflection to confirm a live human, and connected this to broader AI discussions, stating that verification is needed to ensure AI systems act on behalf of a human. Amlani also addressed the evolution of biometrics, recalling his involvement with the Department of Homeland Security in 2003 when biometrics were deployed for travelers entering the country. He said governments sought multi-vendor ecosystems to avoid dependence on a single supplier. He attributed the post-9/11 boom in biometric funding to security needs, while noting that current demand is driven by online fraud and AI-enabled impersonation, where bad actors can create fake identities using widely available tools.
