Trust economy creates ambiguity, fails basic tests

The modern trust economy, designed to reduce uncertainty, is paradoxically generating more ambiguity. This is highlighted by recent incidents where advanced biometric age-verification systems struggled to differentiate adults from children who used simple disguises like drawn-on mustaches. Such failures underscore a critical gap between the sophisticated algorithms intended for precision and the basic workarounds that can easily fool them. This situation raises questions about the reliability and effectiveness of current technological solutions built to establish trust in digital interactions and transactions.
