I am often told that I look very young for my age, and people generally guess my age several years lower than it is. This tool guessed the correct age right away, which really impressed me. Thanks for the confidence boost Microsoft!
The accompanying article is also very interesting and well written to be readable by someone who isn't totally up to date with the latest in facial recognition software.

Ditto, except this tool suggested I was three years older than I was at the time. Of note is that the photo was taken three years ago, so it's correct now. However, that was pre-beard, which generally ages people, so ... I don't know what to think.
- robhack 11y agoSame here, but I'm 25 and the tool guessed 20,21,27,27. I guess the average is correct-ish. In my case, the old guesses are when there is bright light or when my head is slightly turned. The younger guesses are with regular room brightness 100% front face.
- drincruz 11y agoSame here; though the guess was nine years older than I am! I am just going to assume that they don't have enough folks that look like me in their dataset. I'm curious to hear more about the accuracy of their machine learning algorithm though. I'll need to read into that later.
- ubertaco 11y agoI uploaded a photo with a picture of myself (I'm 25) and my 11-year old sister. I got guessed as 44, she was guessed at 74. I know I look older than my age (though I wouldn't think 19 years older), but my 11-year-old sister coming up as 74 was surprising. What's 63 years, give or take?
