It's like a video game. They are getting ready for the fall of society.

    You can't even buy ammo from a vending machine in GTA. You still need to go to a gun store for that in the game. You can tell Rockstar have been slacking when real life gets ahead of their satirical game.

    Why do they need AI to verify an ID?

    Just a guess, but maybe they use AI to compare the live person's face to the photo on the ID to verify. Of course if they're comparing to the printed photo and not to a database photo linked to the ID, then the whole purpose of the machine is ill-conceived, as it could be bypassed with a fake ID.

    As someone often paid to think like a criminal ( in order to stop criminals ), these look like a prime opportunity for a violent cartel to both stock up on ammo and launder money.

    Come to think of it, that may be a meta-joke I missed in Borderlands.

    The photo recognition ought to put a bit of a damper on it, but I feel like a motivated "investor" could find work-arounds (or just unwitting "mules").

    Great when you didn't bring enough ammo for your mass shooting and need a quick top up.

    Welcome to the borderlands universe. Also, hope this thing doesn't ever catch fire.

    Does anyone actually trust AI in its current stage of development to handle this?

    The point of vending machines is convenience of getting something cold on the go (or snacks, but a shelf works for those too)...this solved a problem no one had to make a statement no one cares about....GJ?

    AI image recognition for age verification.

    Famously 100% accurate. Hence why even humans who need to verify age look at the birth date on your driver's license.

    I hate it here.

    Speaking of mildly interesting, I'd be mildly interested to know how much spray foam one could put inside that vending machine.
