    For reasons, there are laws against selling “handgun ammunition” to people under 21. 18-21 year olds can buy rifle ammunition.

    So the vending machine takes ID and scans the person to see if they match the photo.

      Oh, man. Vendors of OCR software can make big money now by rebranding as “AI-powered”.

        I believe it is the part where it scans the person’s face to see if it matches the ID that is being called AI. I don’t know if that meets the technical definition or not, but that’s what they marketing is calling AI here.

          LPT: Actual AI still does not exist, when you see something described as AI, it’s bullshit. The closest thing we have to AI is machine learning, but that’s more glorified text prediction than it is actual general artificial intelligence. A lot of things advertised as being “AI” aren’t even really that.
