by facial recognition systems than white people. And maybe I'm underestimating the magic at work here but determining whether someone is 16 or 18 based on a single selfie also strikes me as a real roll of the dice. The ESRB dismissed concerns about the"fairness" of the system, however, saying that"the difference in rejection rates between gender and skin tone is very small.

"The data suggests that for those between 25 and 35, 15 out of 1,000 females vs 7 out of 1,000 males might be incorrectly classified as under-25 ," the filing states."The range of difference by skin tone is between 8 out of 1,000 vs 28 out of 1,000.
