Facial recognition coming in supermarkets? - 27th Mar 2024 10:52am
We often use the machines to check out in the supermarket, and notice that they now have TV cameras showing your face on them.
I wonder if this will be eventually used for identifying you with a link to your bank account saving even more hassle and fumbling to pay for your groceries?
Another possibility is to automatically determine whether you are old enough to buy alcohol or other products. At 81 I'd have thought it obvious in my case, but I still get asked asked occasionally if I'm old enough to buy alcohol. Usually, I reply its for my grandfather who is playing rugby at the moment.
I like the idea of being recognised for payment and plan to wear an Elon Musk mask.
