Model description

This model is a fine-tuned version of google/paligemma-3b-pt-224 on the FairFace dataset. The model aims to classify the age of face image or image with one person into five groups such as from 0 to 9, from 10 to 19, from 20 to 39, from 40 ro 59, More than 60

Governance & Responsible Use

The FaceScanPaliGemma model processes highly sensitive biometric data (facial attributes). Deployment of this model must follow strict governance frameworks to ensure responsible and ethical use.

✅ Permitted Uses

• Academic research, benchmarking, and reproducibility studies.
• Educational projects exploring bias, fairness, and multimodal AI.
• Development of fairness-aware systems with proper safeguards.

❌ Prohibited Uses

• Surveillance or mass monitoring of individuals or groups.
• Identity verification or authentication without explicit and informed consent.
• Applications that discriminate against or marginalize individuals or communities.
• Use on scraped datasets or facial images collected without consent.

⚠️ Law Enforcement Use

• Direct use in law enforcement contexts is not recommended due to high societal risks.
• Risks include bias amplification, wrongful identification, and privacy violations.
• If ever considered, deployment must be:
  • Governed by strict legal frameworks (e.g., EU AI Act, GDPR, CCPA).
  • Subject to independent auditing, transparency, and accountability.
  • Limited to proportional, necessary, and rights-respecting use cases.

Governance Principles

1. Access & Control – Limit deployment to contexts with clear oversight and accountability.
2. Transparency – Always disclose when and how the model is used.
3. Bias & Fairness Auditing – Evaluate performance across demographic groups before deployment.
4. Privacy Protection – Respect GDPR, CCPA, and local regulations; never process data without consent.
5. Accountability – Establish internal review boards or ethics committees for production use.

Community Reporting

We encourage the community to report issues, biases, or misuse of this model through the Hugging Face Hub discussion forum.
