    Rights groups brand Home Office's AI age guesser for asylum-seekers as biased and inaccurate

    Over 60 rights groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have urged the UK Home Office to abandon plans to use AI-powered facial age estimation to determine the age of asylum-seeking children, citing concerns about bias, inaccuracy, and legal issues. The technology, set for a 2027 rollout, faces criticism for unreliable performance, particularly affecting people of color and trauma-affected individuals, with error margins of up to 2.5 years at the 16-to-18-year-old threshold.
