A Stanford University psychologist has claimed he has built AI that is capable of detecting things like your intelligence, sexual preferences, and political leanings with a great degree of accuracy — just by scanning your face.

If this sounds like a recipe for disaster, it’s supposed to. Kosinski says he has created it as a warning that facial recognition technology could have implications for our privacy and civil liberties in the age of artificial intelligence — but why does his research feel like it's just opening Pandora’s Box? Futurism has more.

@MaxPow3r11 @TechDesk "I just got a message from the future but the signal wasn't great. Either they said 'Don't build the torment nexus" or they said "Build the torment nexus.

"What do you think? Which one? Hmm. Flip a coin I guess... nope... better flip it again."

@TechDesk don't worry Black people, I'm sure *this* time it won't be extremely flawed and horribly racist....
@TechDesk just like modern day phrenology!?
@TechDesk AI-driven phrenology faceology!
@TechDesk Automated calipers! What could go wrong?!
@TechDesk Did he actually get a working gaydar? Seriously?
@TechDesk The psychology department best known for being behind the Stanford Prison Experiment probably just needs to be disbanded at this point.

Physiognomy is pseudoscience, obviously rooted in racism, and we need to push back more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiognomy

People have been sounding the alarm for a while now. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3927300
