A man with a facial disfiguration was left "disheartened" after AI recognition software failed to recognise him.

Amit Ghose, 33, was born with neurofibromatosis type 1, a condition that causes tumours to grown along nerves.

He lost his left eye when he was 11 and wore an eye patch while waiting for a prosthetic eye, leading to bullying at school.

But despite those challenges, Amit says he's "always" embraced his disfigurement and has a "positive personality".
