Amazon One's Palm-Scanning Tech Enables Contactless Age Verification for Alcohol Purchases.
Amazon One, the palm-scanning technology used for payments, can now verify age for purchasing age-restricted goods like alcoholic beverages. The technology uses cameras to match multiple aspects of the palm to the photos provided by the user. Amazon One is expanding to Coors Field baseball stadium in Colorado before expanding to additional establishments. However, signing up for age verification requires personal information, including images of the palm, government-issued ID, payment information, and a selfie, which could pose privacy and security risks.
