This company says it’s developing a system that can recognize your face from just your DNA
Though it almost certainly won’t work, it is a telling sign of where the field is heading
I'm developing a system that causes people to give me VC funding because it sounds cool
Ugh, we are allocating our tech tree so dumb this play through.
My guess is that they pair your DNA samples with photos of you, because anything else is doomed to failure.
Yeah, the understanding of biology to go from DNA to full body reconstruction is very far away. What they might be thinking of doing is creating a database of face and matching DNA. Then when unknown DNA is queried it probably finds the most similar sequences and then blends some of the most similar faces together.
It's going to have horrible accuracy.
And then perhaps, they will mistake a football with bald-head DNA.
I was imagining that they were going to acquire a large dataset of DNA sequences paired with photos of the patient and then train a neural network to predict one from the other. I don't think that would be particularly successful either (you would need a tremendous amount of data and DNA sequencing is expensive), but it would be interesting to see the results.
LOL, bullshit.
too bad that I am altering my body and face with hormones that my body doesn't normalky produce
Good luck with that.
Time to get beaten up really hard!
The science behind this would be really interesting.
But I'm pretty sure variations like age and weight would make this useless.
Not useless if it holds up in court
And garbage science has been used in court for a long time.
It wouldn't need to hold up in court. You already have the DNA so once you identify your suspect you can DNA test them to see if it's them and normal processes continue.
This is for cases when all you have is DNA that is not in the database to help you track that person down.
Basically like when they do a sketch based on a witness's memory except using DNA.
I'm developing a system that can recognize your face from just the amount of money you paid.
Wake me up when they can change my face using DNA. Yanno, like something fuzzy.
What about anyone who’s had face surgery?
