Gay Face and Technology

This is an interesting assertion. First off,

a

the algorithm looked at multiple factors, not just style and trends. But even if it did look at those things alone and came up with the same findings, that would still be a scientific basis to hypothesize that would be far stronger than random chance. Second, the study obviously was attempting to control variables. Race is a variable. What’s more invasive about this finding than say, search history that would reveal the same thing?

Tech companies that use data on individuals to sell to other companies are interested in people of all persuasions to more accurately market to them. If a person’s likes, interests, searches, and friend groups don’t reveal a user’s sexuality, then, using sophisticated photo analysis algorithms would be, and probably are right now, being used.

What happens when a similar algorithm accurately predicts sociopaths based on facial structure? How about pedophiles? How about conservatives or liberals?
