John Lewis has become the first online retailer to use AI to check whether shoppers are old enough to buy knives.
The online store can check whether someone is over 18 without needing to see their ID.
The technology has been provided by Yoti , which already provides age verification for social media and pornography sites.
Yoti claims that its test identifies 99.91 per cent of 13 to 17-year-olds correctly as under 25 years old .
