Supermarket cameras to guess age of alcohol buyers
Major supermarket chains have begun testing an automated age-verification system, to avoid The Wait for staff at self-checkouts when buying alcohol.
The Trial will use cameras that can estimate each customer's age.
It is part of a Home Office test of technologies to assist with the selling of alcohol.
Asda, Co-op and Morrisons are installing The System in some shops. The same technology is already used in Aldi's checkout-free shop in London.
If customers consent, the camera will guess their age, using algorithms trained on a database of anonymous faces.
If it decides they are under 25, they will need to show ID to a member of staff.
'Keep pace'" Waiting for age approval at the self-checkout is sometimes frustrating for shoppers, " Robin Tombs, chief executive of Yoti, The Company providing the technology, said.
" Our age-verification solutions are helping retailers like Asda meet the requirements of regulators worldwide and keep pace with consumer demands for fast and convenient services, while preserving people's privacy. "
This is not Facial Recognition , Yoti is keen to stress, which tries to match individual faces to those on a database.
And The System will not retain the images it takes.
Privacy concernsTested on More Than 125,000 faces aged six-60, The Algorithm , on average, guessed their age to within 2. 2 years - 1. 5 among 16-20-year-olds.
Asda's senior director of retail innovation Geri Hebberd said the supermarket was excited to test the technology and " looked forward to seeing what our customers think".
" We know how time pressed some of our customers are, so we always want to make things quicker and easier for them when they shop With Us , " she added.
Privacy concerns were raised, in 2020, when 18 Co-op shops tested a facial-recognition system, from start-up Facewatch, that alerted staff to customers with a record of " theft or anti-social behaviour".
And meanwhile, Sainsbury's tested a hidden artificial-intelligence-enabled detector that sent video footage to security staff if customers pocketed an item.
