Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Why do they need AI to verify an ID?

[–] officermike 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Just a guess, but maybe they use AI to compare the live person's face to the photo on the ID to verify. Of course if they're comparing to the printed photo and not to a database photo linked to the ID, then the whole purpose of the machine is ill-conceived, as it could be bypassed with a fake ID.

However this thing works, I would put a pretty large amount of money on somebody finding a hack that breaks the security rapidly.

Grab someone's ID, print the profile picture on a sheet of paper. Strap it to your face:
