Forget facial recognition, this new AI predicts age by analyzing hands

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

According to a statement by the firm, the study showed that AI models trained on hand images achieve comparable accuracy to those using facial images, with an average error of 4.1 and 4.7 years in predicting chronological age.

The AI model in the study was primarily trained by employing the Indian population dataset to ensure representation of diverse skin tones and address AI’s bias challenges, especially pertaining to ethnicity-specific considerations in age prediction.

By focusing on the Indian population, the study aimed to develop an AI model tailored to this demographic, mitigating biases and promoting fairer AI solutions. Additionally, the research’s market relevance in India’s growing skincare and AI sectors underscores the strategic importance of using an Indian dataset for this study.
