Maybe this is a special topic, but I‘m thinking to help users onboarding process via web scan of their ID’s or Passport via MRZ That would help to fillout a registrationform:
Firstname
Middlename
Lastname
Age
Sex
City / Country

Any ideas which provider has good API‘s? I found one but I guess I need to wait for bearer Token, or use Hosted Page from them, or another provider to have enough security for users.
Regula Forensics: This one is quite funny and works within 5 seconds :
I was watching an Elon Musk interview recently where he was discussing machine learning and AI. Interesting viewing from a man that is at the cutting edge of technology, and very sensible. Calling for the protection of export of AI based applications among other things. Seeing them as a serious threat equal to that of nuclear weapons. I could see his point. He predicted that unless this technology is seriously safe guarded it will bring on the demise of humanity within a few years. Skynet style!
As a regular 4chan user I must say some of the deep fakes which have utilised the basic technologies are astounding! This in the hands of amateurs! Now if a serious individual or nation state wanted to harness these abilities as a weapon… Who knows where we’ll end up!
EDIT:
If you’re interested here is the interview link:
Steven Hawking was also afraid about AI/ML … I did some funny tests withing that topic via Python, Pytorch etc and it was Amazing and shocking how fast its learning! But OCR is quite a simple process and has not alot to do with this onboarding process. Also I guess some MRZ uses some „checksum…?“ Numbers withing the code. So for me this shitty MRZ is nothing different than a normal QR or Barcode.
BTW: I am afraid about AI… it will takeover aloooooooot of low level jobs, like Cashier and more…
