When iBorderCtrl determines the traveller is being truthful, they receive a QR code that will let them pass the border.<\/p>\n<p>If the AI suspects the traveller is lying, they will have biometric information taken and will be passed on to a human agent who will then review their information and make a decision.<\/p>\n<p>The program is still considered highly experimental, and early testing of a previous iteration only had a 76% success rate.
