    Because it is currently the most advanced way to pretend you are doing age verification when really you aren’t that is available on the market.

      How about this: scan your state issued ID. My license has a barcode, and bars already scan it, so it’s a solved problem, no AI needed. The process should essentially be:

      1. scan license
      2. snap picture of face
      3. send to police for lookup - needed to verify you’re not a felon or whatever, there’s more to it than just age verification
      4. accept or reject transaction

      The only AI that needs to exist would be at the local precinct, and used for related ID verification checks.

      Or how about this, instead of all this BS, put the vending machine in the store and have a clerk check your ID like they normally would.

        But that is boring, that might actually solve the problem and doesn’t have any hype keywords to get anyone to overvalue your company and buy it.
