Agemin.com, a leading provider of AI-powered age verification solutions, announced the development of a revolutionary biometric face estimation model designed to enhance online child safety. This cutting-edge model outperforms all known competitors on the market, achieving a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of just 0.9 years for the critical age group of 9-21 and 1.8 years for individuals 21 and older.

Agemin will submit the model to the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Face Analysis Technology Evaluation—Age Estimation & Verification (FATE/AEV) program for independent evaluation in the coming month. The FATE/AEV track provides a transparent, ongoing benchmark for facial age estimation and verification performance.

Agemin's platform leverages advanced facial analysis to enable instant, privacy-preserving age verification without requiring personal documents or invasive data collection. This innovation addresses growing regulatory demands, such as those under COPPA, Ofcom, EU Digital Services Act and emerging global standards, by providing accurate, frictionless checks to prevent minors from accessing age-restricted content while protecting user privacy.

"Our new model represents a significant advancement in biometric technology, delivering unprecedented accuracy tailored to the nuances of facial development in children and young adults," said Mikael Hedlöf, CEO of Bynn Intelligence, the parent company driving Agemin's innovations. "In an era where online threats to children are escalating, reliable age verification is no longer optional—it's essential for safeguarding vulnerable users and ensuring compliance."

Hedlöf emphasized the broader implications: "Frictionless age estimation is key to widespread adoption. Traditional methods like ID uploads create barriers that deter users and platforms alike. By making verification seamless and non-intrusive, we empower social media, gaming, and e-commerce players to implement robust child safety measures without compromising user experience or privacy."

This breakthrough builds on Agemin's established expertise in AI-driven identity authentication, where the platform already achieves industry-leading MAE rates as low as 1.1 years. The new model enhances performance specifically for younger demographics, a challenge in current technologies, and supports real-time deployment via APIs for easy integration.

As online platforms face increasing scrutiny from regulators worldwide, Agemin's solution positions itself as a proactive tool for compliance and safety.
