Facial-recognition data is typically used to prompt more vending machine sales.

    Adaria Vending Services told MathNEWS that “what’s most important to understand is that the machines do not take or store any photos or images, and an individual person cannot be identified using the technology in the machines. The technology acts as a motion sensor that detects faces, so the machine knows when to activate the purchasing interface—never taking or storing images of customers.”

    “You should totally trust us about this, even though we failed to disclose the use of facial recognition software upfront.”

    This company needs to develop some software to go fuck itself.

      Wait so it just recognizes any face? Like the cameras at the walmart checkout that just go “yep thats a face slap a green box on that bitch” and thats it?

        Nope:

        Stanley sounded alarm after consulting Invenda sales brochures that promised “the machines are capable of sending estimated ages and genders” of every person who used the machines without ever requesting consent.

        Adaria Vending Services is clearly being deceptive, and what I and most non-corporate brainrotted people would consider straight-up dishonest, in the quote I posted above.

        That’s why I suggested they can go fuck themselves. I hope they lose a shit ton of money over this.

        Edit: I see now that you found the same part of the article. In my defense, I only saw your comment in my inbox, but I should have checked the thread lol
