UK border officials to use AI to verify ages of child asylum seekers

I hate unaccountable black-box algorithms taking over everything, becoming the new convenient excuse.

Ok and who will verify the AI verification?

"Verify".

You couldn't make it up.

But they did! :)

How is replacing a failing system with a unverified system sensible?

> AI technology – trained on millions of images where an individual’s age is verifiable

... but not verified, note.

"AI" is truly the 21stC's snake oil.

What country with a war going on does UK border with? Where are these 'asylum seekers' coming from?
