It's illogical that the Verge article takes it as fact that it's impossible to infer someone's character from photos or videos. If that's true, then the only concerning outcome is that we build and operate software that falsely purports to provide insight.
To me, the worrying outcome is that it is feasible. Before you know it, SAT tests are replaced by photos.
Of course I can think of good applications, such as scanning for terrorists by identifying abnormal signs of stress.
- TheSpiceIsLife 9y agoNot all abnormal signs of stress are indicative of terrorist tendencies.
- dogruck 9y agoAgreed. I think about that sometimes, for example, when I'm stressed at the airport just because I'm late or headed to an important business meeting. That said, I can imagine a AI-driven screening mechanism that was rooted in a causal relationship to data, instead of random nonsense.
