“AI won’t understand our trauma or how fear and survival can change a young person’s appearance. Software can’t identify a scared 16-year-old aged by suffering. Behind every age disputed refugee is a child who has survived the unimaginable. We deserve safety, dignity and the chance to grow up free from harm.”

Campaigners slam ‘dangerous and discriminatory’ AI facial scanning

CAMPAIGNERS have slammed the government over plans to use “dangerous and discriminatory” AI facial scanning to guess the age of unaccompanied children seeking asylum.The Home Office announced today that it had awarded a £322,000 contract to Harlow-based IT firm Akhter Computers to provide “an algorithm that can accurately predict the age of a subject.”Many young people seeking asylum arrive in Britain without “verifiable identity documents,” but age remains a material factor in how some asylum claims are assessed with under-18s more likely to remain.
