Google Wallet Introduces AI Electronic Pass System

2024-08-13

At Google's I/O Developer Conference in May, a revolutionary new feature was unveiled in Google Wallet, integrating artificial intelligence technology to create a multifunctional electronic passport system for users. This innovation completely eliminates the old "Add to Wallet" feature, which only supports simple barcode or QR code display for "photos," and instead introduces a powerful module called "Everything Else," greatly expanding the application scope of electronic credentials. From daily business cards, ID cards, library cards, and membership cards to passports and vehicle registration certificates, everything is included, bringing unprecedented convenience to users' daily lives. However, it is worth noting that this cutting-edge feature is currently only available to users in the United States. By enabling the "Everything Else" feature, Google Wallet requests authorization from users to allow its advanced AI system to process personal sensitive information and intelligently categorize it into various types such as personal passports, health passports, and driver's licenses. Users only need to take a simple photo of their credentials, and the AI system will quickly process and generate electronic passports. Users can also review and adjust any possible detail errors or misclassifications to ensure the accuracy of the information before saving and using it. To ensure that users can easily get started, Google has released detailed user guides and announced that this feature has been gradually rolled out to users earlier this month. Although lucky individuals like Emma Ross have already experienced this convenience on their Galaxy Note 20 phones, users with devices like Pixel 6 will need to wait patiently. However, the good news is that this feature is expected to be fully deployed on a wider range of devices soon, allowing more people to enjoy the life-changing benefits brought by technology.
