A man with a facial disfiguration was left "disheartened" after AI recognition software failed to recognise him. Amit Ghose, 33, was born with neurofibromatosis type 1, a condition that causes tumours to grown along nerves.
He lost his left eye when he was 11 and wore an eye patch while waiting for a prosthetic eye, leading to bullying at school. But, despite those challenges, Amit said he'd "always" embraced his disfigurement and had a "positive personality".
Looking for some extra cash to fund his wedding, he decided to sign up as a Deliveroo rider. However, after filling in his details, Amit was prompted with an AI facial recognition software.
