Google is rolling out a new feature for Google Wallet that uses AI to generate a digital version of IDs, tickets, and other passes. “Replacing the old ‘Photo’ option, Everything else lets you ‘Scan a photo of any pass like an event ticket, gym membership, insurance card, and more’ to create a digital version that appears in Google Wallet,” writes 9to5Google’s Abner Li. “The app explains how AI is leveraged to ‘determine what kind of pass you’re adding and to suggest the content of the pass.'” From the report: If you’re adding something sensitive with health or government ID information, it will be classified as private and not get synced to other devices, while authentication is required before opening. However, you can change the private pass classification later. After taking a picture of the pass, Google will extract the information and let you edit common fields, as well as add your own. At this stage, you can change the pass type […]. When finalized, it will appear below your carousel of credit/debit cards. Google will let you access the original “Pass photos” when viewing the digital copy.
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm’ without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. — David Jones
