Microsoft wants to guess your age

I know I was a bit rough on Microsoft yesterday, saying they didn’t do anything cool anymore.

Well, it’s amazing what a difference a day can make. They’re working on a new facial recognition tool that lets you upload a picture of yourself — or anyone else — and it tells you how old it thinks you are.

I tried it with a couple of pictures of me, and let’s just say I really, really like the results.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible.
