KFC China has another weird tech idea to get you to eat fast food

Kentucky Fried Chicken is once again showing how tech-savvy it is. The fast food chain's Chinese division, reports TechCrunch, is partnering up with Baidu (essentially China's Google) to create a new tech-infused "smart restaurant" in Beijing that'll use kiosks with facial recognition technology to scan a customer's face and make food order suggestions based on their mood, age and gender. The idea is either genius (it does all the decision-making for you!) or a terrible idea that could go wrong in so many ways. In a press release, Baidu says a 20-something-year-old male might be recommended a "crispy chicken hamburger, roasted chicken wings and coke" meal for lunch. A female in her 50s, however, would be suggested "porridge and soybean milk for breakfast."
