Age verification

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a report on age estimation software, evaluating six algorithms. The study found no single algorithm significantly outperformed the others. NIST plans to update results every four to six weeks, anticipating improvements due to advancements in artificial intelligence. The study highlights variations in age estimates due to factors like facial expressions and eyeglasses. The evaluation used around 11.5 million photos from various U.S. government sources, emphasizing the need for ongoing testing to keep up with technological advancements.
