Facebook’s DeepFace technology is able to recognize faces 97.25% of the time, against 97.53% for a human. Such developments raise questions about the power of such tools and the implications for the future.

* Amscreen: Cameras at supermarket checkouts ascertain age and gender of individual shoppers, and tailor advertisements accordingly.

* Emotient: Webcam on next-generation TVs monitors viewer engagement levels with content, to aid creative decisions on TV shows.

* Scenetap: Offers real-time information on gender ratios and average age of patrons at bars in the area
