ESRB plans “facial age estimation” checker for age verification - Dexerto

The ESRB has proposed a new concept to allow for better parental control over kids playing video games.

The ESRB has added:

“To be perfectly clear: Any images and data used for this process are never stored, used for AI training, used for marketing, or shared with anyone; the only piece of information that is communicated to the company requesting VPC is a “Yes” or “No” determination as to whether the person is over the age of 25.”

Sure, ok…

I don’t know what else to say about this, this will obviously turn into something else.

    TI would be every dollar I’ve ever made that you know absolutely nothing about how it works. You seem like someone who is barely technically proficient and likes to pretend like that means they know how things work.

    I’m a software engineer and can confirm that you are absolutely fucking wrong on this one.

      I’m a software engineer and I work in machine vision hardware. I may have been lazy with my response, but I do know what I’m talking about. On some level I’m probably in a bubble because I work close enough to the cutting edge of things that I wouldn’t expect any modern company to be employing such basic algorithms to a solved problem.

      I’m a software engineer and I can confirm that you are absolutely fucking rude on this one.
