Google experts debunk sexuality detecting AI

Controversial AI software that researchers claimed could determine if someone is gay by looking at the shape of their face has been debunked. Experts say that the computer program, developed by Stanford University, is not able to determine your sexuality by scanning photos. Instead, they claim it relies on patterns in how homosexual and heterosexual people take selfies to make its determinations. That includes superficial details like the amount of makeup and facial hair on show, as well as different preferences for the type of angles used to take the shots. Critics slammed the software when it first emerged in September 2017, saying it could be used to'out' men and women currently in the closet.
