Supermarkets are calling for new laws that let them use AI to verify a customer is over-18 when buying alcohol How does it work? Tom Ironside, Director of Business Regulation at the BRC, said: 'The BRC has long campaigned for digital age estimation technology to be used to verify a person's age for the purchase of alcohol. The call comes after successful trials by the Home Office at several UK retailers including Tesco, Asda and Morrisons over the past year 'Digital forms of age verification can already be used for all other age restricted products such as tobacco, knives and medicine, and there is no reason this cannot also be extended to alcohol sales.'
