It’s a hand waive joke attempt. Sophia has 0 test integrity.

I am curious on what you base the above claim.  I'm told by someone internal at Google that they have apparently for years internally used a keystroke irregularity algorithm to ensure who (employees/contractors) are accessing their internal systems (in addition to other login/security procedures.).They have apparently had excellent success using this method, combined with others mentioned (IP, geolocation, etc) to accurately identify users.  Who is to say Sophia has not licensed the same or similar technology?
Well for one I had my brother login for me and it worked and two biometric entry into a test doesn’t ensure that you aren’t cheating….you could use other tabs up or other devices. It doesn’t ensure test integrity at all.

I don’t understand why I have to explain this. Missing the forest through the trees….
