Last weekend the Global AI Hackathon (http://ai.hackathon.com/) took place, where Chui was a partner and allowed the San Francisco branch of the hackathon to use our face recognition API within the participants’ creations. One team, in particular, Clover (https://www.clover.com/), used our API and were placed third in the competition. What was their creation? They created an application that would help detect fraud at automatic checkouts at stores.

So for example, say I am trying to use a stolen card at checkout, the checkout machine would take a picture of my face and match it against records, to show that I am in fact the cardholder. An excellent use case of our API, and great news for banks and stores alike! Tomorrow we will be launching this API on product hunt so watch this space! We will give instructions tomorrow on how to get early access.

Watch the video, in full, to see the creation.
