Artificial Intelligence is doing new wonders everyday. It’s being used to write books, compose music albums, defeat gaming champions on their best domains and so much more. Now recently, the researchers at Stanford University have used artificial intelligence to predict the sexuality of a person with a surprising accuracy.

In this research, 35k images were considered as sample, it was found that the computer algorithm was able to correctly distinguish between gay and straight men in 81% of the instances. While human judges were able to do that with less accuracy.

All the images were taken from an online dating website. These images were fed to software called VGG-Face, which assigns a unique ‘faceprint’ number to each face. After that, using a AI predictive model named logistic regression, the correlations between a person’s facial features and sexuality is determined. This process involves training this neural network first with lots of pictures first.

A.I. Gaydar, awesome lol

Wow man this is quite disturbing that AI can Detect From faces

I also think the same

That is so bizarre.

Yes, it is kind of

I feel like humans are so changeable, though. I wonder how the spectrum plays into this. For instance, are a person's facial demeanor changing based on their proclivities at the time? I'd be interested to know more.

I have known people who've been exclusively oriented one way for a long time and then they have changed at another point. and I'd love to know if this is something that AI would be able to pick up accurately in two different images of the same person at different times when they were expressing the other orientation.

There is always possibility of error in AI algorithms because after they are written by humans. I agree with you that humans have very diverse personalities and it cannot be mapped to code entirely

woosh

Scary. AI has possibilities that we all should be wary of.

Exactly, autonomous AI programs pose a great threat for humans in future.

@bluemist Very well performed for sticking at it! It is just a new strategy for lifetime therefore you are modern-day pioneers. Adore it..

Thank you
