    The UK will scan asylum-seekers’ faces for age checks—despite knowing the tech is flawed

    The UK government plans to use facial age estimation (FAE) technology to determine the age of asylum seekers at borders, despite internal reports showing the system frequently misclassifies children as adults and exhibits bias. Asylum seekers without age-proving documents risk losing legal protections if incorrectly labeled as adults, with high-stakes implications for migrants in 2025.
