Age assurance designed around safety, privacy and the realities of African users.
Research and validation
Concept diagram. Age signal → Policy decision → Human review.
Kamari explores privacy-conscious age assurance for platforms that need to protect children and vulnerable users online. The work combines age-estimation research, policy-based decisions and careful verification design.
The problem
Online services need a practical way to make age-appropriate decisions without treating every person as a data-collection opportunity.
The approach
Research age-estimation performance on relevant populations.
Design explicit decision policies, fallback checks and human review.
Limit retention of sensitive imagery.
Evaluate false decisions and consent flows before any broad deployment.
Scope and limits
Research-stage product. Performance, fairness, privacy and regulatory work remain prerequisites for wider pilots. Age estimation alone is not identity verification.
