A disparate pair of publications is questioning if facial recognition can be used reliably when it comes to LGBTQ subjects. One point of view is a podcast from the conservative-libertarian Cato Institute think tank and the other is a blog posted on the site of digital ID verification provider Mitek. In the podcast, Caleb Brown, director of Cato's multimedia operations, says of facial recognition "is, for the most part, not ready for prime time." Brown is talking with a Cato colleague, Matthew Feeney, director of the Project on Emerging Technologies. Feeney says studies indicate that facial-analysis business tools may be better at determining sexual orientations than people. That has convinced some outfits to find related problems to solve with AI code.
