Artificial intelligence can correctly guess homosexuals through only one photo

This new artificial intelligence has a good "gaydar" superior to humans, which can identify someone who is gay with just one photo.

Stanford University research has found that the human face has a difference that shows sexual orientation, IQ and even the person's political views.

The human face has a difference that shows sexual orientation.

This causes many people to question the biological origin of sexual orientation, the ethics of face detection technology, as well as the risk of this type of software violating people's privacy or abuse. harm to LGBT community.

According to Economist, the research information is based on 130,741 images of 36,630 men and 170,360 images of 38,593 women publicly posted on an American dating site.

Half of the images are taken into the system by gay people, the other half are heterosexuals. This artificial intelligence correctly guessed their 81% sexual orientation.

Estimates can predict whether a man is gay or not with just one photo, with an accuracy of 71%. If using 5 pictures, the accuracy will increase to 83%. However, for women, computers are more difficult to identify.

With a photo, AI can predict a gay man with an accuracy of 71%.

Two scientists Michal Kosinski and Wang Yilun realized there were characteristic characteristics, trends and expressions of homosexuals that only machines discovered.

The data also determines certain physical characteristics. Homosexual men often have narrow jaws, longer noses and larger foreheads than heterosexual men. Gay women have smaller upper and front jaws than heterosexual women.

Although it is only an experiment, this artificial intelligence creates a great suspicion . "It is certainly worrisome. Like any new tool, if it falls into the wrong hands, it can be used for pathological purposes." Nick Rule, professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, who published scientific research on gaydar said.
