#UK #AI #FaceScanning #AgeVerification: "Artificial intelligence (AI) face-scanning technology that checks the age of shoppers buying alcohol is to be rolled out at supermarkets under government plans to replace the use of physical ID documents.
Chris Philp, the policing minister, announced on Wednesday that the Government is to consult on new laws that would allow supermarkets to use AI technology capable of accurately estimating the age of shoppers by using a camera to scan their face at the tills.
Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Co-op have already successfully trialled the technology which allowed anyone that is estimated to be over 25 to buy their alcohol without further checks.
Those assessed to be under 25 had to go through the traditional confirmation of age by presenting an ID document such as a passport or driving licence."
