Odaily Planet Daily News: U.S. Representative Josh Gottheimer, along with eight co-sponsors, has introduced a bipartisan bill requiring online sports betting platforms and prediction markets to verify users' age before login, placing bets, or trading. The bill, named the Facial Recognition to Protect Children Act, applies to online gambling and prediction markets.
Gottheimer's office stated that the relevant technology will read facial structures and patterns to estimate a user's age, without storing identity or personal biometric information. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) classifies age estimation as facial analysis, not identification.
NIST has evaluated 6 age estimation algorithms, with an average error of 3.1 years on the same visa photo database, with performance varying based on factors such as image quality, age, gender, and region of birth. The full text and number of the bill have not yet been released, and the implementing agencies, penalties, technical standards, and appeal mechanisms have not been specified.
