Will a Telegram chatbot accurately define your age?

Telegram now has a bot that defines sex and age using a photo. Developers of VisionLabs believe that the program will identify demographic data 75% more accurately than a human.

To find the bot, type @facevision_bot in the search field. The program offers to send a photo in the chat.

Your selfie should be of good quality and made with sufficient lighting. The virtual assistant will make an assumption about your sex and age. According to the data of VisionLabs, the probability of error accounts for 0.3% when defining sexual identity and 25% when calculating age.

Company’s CEO Aleksandr Khanin specified that the bot found application in the marketing research. For example, it helps to collect data about the target audience and make up the customer profile to adjust advertising settings.

The chatbot was built on a neural network called Luna.

The startup developed it for banks and retailers that use photos and videos of customers to compare them with the database.
