AI Can Tell Your Political Affiliation Just by Looking at Your Face, Researchers Find
A new peer-reviewed study says that facial recognition technology can accurately "read" a person's political affiliation just by looking at their face.
You're viewing a single thread.
We demonstrate that political orientation can be predicted from neutral facial images by both humans and algorithms, even when factors like age, gender, and ethnicity are accounted for. This indicates a connection between political leanings and inherent facial characteristics, which are largely beyond an individual’s control. Our findings underscore the urgency for scholars, the public, and policymakers to recognize and address the potential risks of facial recognition technology to personal privacy.
"peer-reviewed" bullshit.
