AI Algorithm to Identify Political Ideas

A new study has found that artificial intelligence can successfully identify people’s political leanings by observing images of expressionless faces.

Researchers have warned that facial recognition technologies are posing more serious privacy risks than ever before.

A recent study published in the Journal of American Psychology found that an algorithm’s ability to predict someone’s political views is as good as predicting job success in a job interview.

Michael Kosinski, lead author of the study, said 591 participants filled out a questionnaire about political orientation. The AI ​​then captured the numerical fingerprint of their faces and compared it to the questionnaire responses to predict their views.

Michael Kosinski said that people don’t realize how much information they reveal about themselves by posting a simple photo.

He said that people’s political and religious views should be protected. In the past, one could find out by going into someone’s Facebook account, their political views, their likes and followed pages. But many years ago Facebook stopped this thing because it was too dangerous.
