This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

using artificial intelligence to verify a buyer's age

current year - birth year = buyer's age

We really need to bring LLMs into this? Lmaoà!

I thought that it was weird too but they are probably using some kind of machine learning to look at the buying to try and classify age and if the image on the ID matches.

But Alabama, specifically, was very against the use of ai and facial recognition and passed a bill to limit it's use. Now they are willing to use it to have a record of exactly when and where they buy ammunition and exactly which caliber? Cognitive disconnect when it's about convenience, huh

I don't know if they use facial recognition.

I also don't think they are.

You only need age recognition and maybe facial matching between two images. That's very different from scanning all people from CCTV footage.
