Biometric Mirror highlights flaws in artificial intelligence

IMAGE: Biometric Mirror uses an open dataset of thousands of facial images and crowd-sourced evaluations. In a world-first, University of Melbourne researchers have designed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to detect and display people's personality traits and physical attractiveness based solely on a photo of their face. The system, called Biometric Mirror, investigates a person's understanding of AI and their response to the information about their unique traits. When someone stands in front of Biometric Mirror, the system detects a range of facial characteristics in seconds. It then compares the user's data to that of thousands of facial photos, which were evaluated for their psychometrics by a group of crowd-sourced responders.
