Biometria facial apresenta falhas em usuários mais velhos, dificultando acesso a serviços essenciais

Facial recognition technology has become popular for simplifying tasks and ensuring security, but it faces difficulties with the elderly. Problems arise when the error rate is up to five times higher among people aged 70 or older, affecting access to banking and government services. Cláudia, a gerontologist, highlights the difficulties faced by the elderly when using these technologies. She has already experienced problems with government services due to biometric failures. Angélica, 63, needed help with simple operations because the system did not recognize her face. Naná, 92, faces difficult journeys to prove her existence on government digital channels due to failures in automatic recognition. Experts say that the systems are trained primarily with images of young people from Europe and North America. When applied to Brazil, discrepancies arise due to age diversity. External factors, such as the quality of the devices and environmental conditions, also affect the effectiveness of these systems, generating resistance from the elderly due to the risk of online fraud. Adapting these innovations to meet the characteristics of this group is essential for effective digital inclusion in Brazil. ➡️ Follow more news on our official website: https://recordtv.r7.com/domingo-espet...
