You're right that the legal distinction between "verification" and "estimation" matters, but in Ofcom's framework, the real question is whether the method is highly effective under the broader age assurance category.
Ofcom explicitly recognizes facial age estimation as valid when it delivers robust accuracy. Such methods can be independently tested and validated, including measurements of false positive rates and error distribution compared to the true age.
At Go.cam, the solution has been engineered to meet these requirements with:
Low false positive rates: The technology minimizes the risk of granting adult access to under-18 users. It was certified by Agecheck (
https://www.agechecked.com/) the official UK certification agency.
Controlled error distribution: The error distribution was checked on an independent public data set of more than 10k
Proven compliance: We provide evidence and test data to demonstrate alignment with Ofcom's expectations for highly effective methods.
Go.cam delivers exactly what's required by Ofcom regarding the age estimation standards: a reliable, compliant age estimation solution.
