AI that 'detects sexuality and IQ' could be used to spot criminals

Facial recognition AI could help police to spot'potentially dangerous' criminals before they've even broken the law, according to one expert. Dr Michal Kosinski - who last year invented a controversial AI he claimed could detect your sexuality - said such face-reading technology may one day help CCTV cameras monitor public spaces for people predisposed to violent behaviour. While the concept raises privacy issues, it has the potential to save lives, the Stanford University academic claims. Dr Kosinski is currently working on computer programmes that detect everything from your political beliefs to your IQ by looking at a single photograph. Stanford researcher Dr Michal Kosinski hit headlines last year after publishing research (pictured) suggesting AI can tell whether someone is straight or gay based on photos.
