Abstract
The present disclosure relates to improving ways of making decisions made by, or with the assistance of, computing systems. One aspect relates to a computer-implemented continuous control method, the method comprising: obtaining a policy decision according to an application of a policy to an inference; the inference being of an authorised user's state of mind over a time interval, determined according to a plurality of biometric readings obtained passively from the user over the time interval for continuous authentication of the user; the user's identity having been continuously authenticated according to the plurality of biometric readings; and causing one or more actions in accordance with the policy decision. Further aspects relate to a data processing system comprising means for carrying out such a method, a computer program comprising instructions which, when the program is executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out such a method, a computer-readable data carrier having stored thereon such a computer program and a data carrier signal carrying such a computer program.
