Image of AI face with quote: Passports matter, and they matter particularly as their issue is a prerogative of state sovereignty. Marginalising the role of passports in border controls may seem like a good technical fix to keeping passengers moving rapidly through entry ports, but the deeper consequences of such a move may create friction with other states.
