Here Are the Winners of the First Beauty Contest Judged by Artificial Intelligence

Earlier this summer, humans submitted their selfies and computer scientists submitted their algorithms to be competitors and judges in the first beauty contest judged by artificial intelligence. The six AI judges were trained to evaluate wrinkles, face symmetry, skin color and several other parameters before choosing men and women winners in various age groups ranging from 18 to 69. The photos, which people submitted through an app, had to show the person free of makeup, facial hair and sunglasses (with a facial hair exception being made for those 65 and older). A total of 60,000 people submitted their selfies, and the winners have been chosen. Alex Zhavoronkov, CSO of Youth Laboratories and CEO of Insilico Medicine, the two companies behind Beauty.AI, said he was surprised by the results.
