Today in terrible ideas: an AI system that claims to be able to accurately predict your political affiliation using…your face. Yes, really.
Stanford researcher Michal Kosinski published his research (which you can read here) in the journal
Nature earlier this week. You might remember Kosinski’s name from spearheading a similar study back in 2017 that claimed to accurately detect a person’s sexuality based on the way their facial features were aligned. At the time, civil rights groups and fellow academics universally dunked on these findings, calling Kosinski “reckless”for publishing it.
