AI N NOW INTIFY PEOPLE AS GAY OR STRAIGHT OM THEIR PHOTO

A study om Stanford Universy suggts that a ep nral work (DNN) n distguish between gay and straight people, wh 81 per cent accuracy men and 71 per cent women. The DNN, a mache learng system, was prented wh pairs of imag, where one dividual was gay and the other was straight.

Acrdg to the rearch, there were certa trends facial featur that distguished between gay and straight people. Narrower jaws, larger foreheads, and longer nos were mon among gay men, while gay women were more likely to have smaller foreheads and wir jaws. The thors of the report, Yilun Wang and Michal Kosski, nclud that homosexual men and women have more androgyno or genr-atypil featur, exprsns, and groomg styl.

“One n easily envisn how g AI to label facial photos ‘lbian’ or ‘gay’ n be ed nefar ways — to hurt dividuals, vlate privacy, make public rmatn that should be private, ” she wrote an email to The Varsy.

STANFORD UNIVERSY'S AI N TELL IF YOU'RE GAY OR STRAIGHT OM A PHOTO

“Many employers or ernments n discrimate agast dividuals if they believe they are lbian or gay. “I would say that whether g AI or g one’s own ey, the ia that you n tell who’s gay and who’s straight by merely lookg at a picture of their face is ridiculo, ” she said.

NEW PUTER ALGORHM N WORK OUT IF YOU ARE GAY OR STRAIGHT OM YOUR PICTURE

Hirst add that, although buildg a facial ‘gay or straight intifier’ is not very helpful, uld not be abed eher. AI n now intify people as gay or straight om their photo. This week, a new pabily has been add to the list: A group of rearchers Swzerland say they’ve veloped an AI mol that n tell if you’re gay or straight.

The rearchers report that by studyg subjects’ electril bra activy, the mol is able to differentiate between homosexual and heterosexual men wh an accuracy rate of 83%.

The thors ntend that “still is of high scientific tert whether there exist blogil patterns that differ between persons wh different sexual orientatns” and that is “paramount to also search for possible functnal differenc” between heterosexual and homosexual people. “Hard to thk of a grosser or more irrponsible applitn of AI than bary-based ‘who’s the gay? This isn’t the first time a mache learng paper has been cricized for tryg to tect signs of homosexualy.

AI CAN TELL IF YOU'RE GAY: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PREDICTS SEXUALY FROM ONE PHOTO WH STARTLG ACCURACY

In 2018, rearchers at Stanford tried to e AI to classify people as gay or straight, based on photos taken om a datg webse. The Swiss study was published June, ls than a month after Uganda’s print signed a new, reprsive anti-LGBTQ+ law — one of the harsht the world — that clus the ath penalty for “aggravated homosexualy.

Michal Kosski and Yilun Wang's algorhm n accurately gus if a person is straight or gay based on a photo of their face. This was achieved g a sample of over 35, 000 imag that had been publicly posted on a US datg se, wh an even reprentatn of gay and straight (termed through their profil) and male and female subjects. Gay men tend to have "genr-atypil" featur, exprsns and groomg styl, meang they appeared more feme.

THE FAMO AI GAYDAR STUDY WAS REPEATED – AND, NO, N'T TELL IF YOU'RE STRAIGHT OR NOT JT OM YOUR FACE

The oppose was te for gay women, who generally had larger jaws and smaller foreheads.

The system was eventually able to distguish between gay and straight men 81 percent of the time, and 74 percent of the time for women, jt by reviewg a photo. The fdgs strongly support the theory that the same hormon affectg a fet' velopg bone stcture play a part termg sexualy, meang that people are born gay - 's not a choice. There's also the ncern that the software uld be ed untri such as Iran, Sudan, Sdi Arabia and Yemen, where homosexualy is punishable by ath.

A recent Stanford Universy study has claimed that Artificial Intelligence (AI) g a facial regnn algorhm n more accurately gus whether a person is gay or lbian than human begs n.

THIS AI N TELL WHETHER YOU’RE GAY OR STRAIGHT

We strongly object to the e of an algorhmic “gaydar” to predict a person’s sexual orientatn and believe studi such as this are both misnceived and pose very real and prent dangers for LGBTQI human rights around the world. The claim that AI n terme whether a person is gay or lbian by asssg a photograph of their face pruppos that sexualy exists as a bary: you’re eher gay or straight.

Moreover, while we are acctomed to g the term gay, s fn is somewhat elive. If the term refers to particular kds of sexual activy between men, then self-intified but celibate homosexuals prent a problem, as do sectns of the prison populatn who don’t intify as homosexual but have sex wh men prison, and those who participate sex wh men for money but don’t intify as gay.

The greater ncern li wh why we are so obssed wh knowg the of homosexualy the first place. From 19th century sexology and psychoanalysis to more ntemporary studi wh medil science, homosexualy has been pathologised. It’s only sce 1972 and 1992 that homosexualy has been removed om the ma global diagnostic manuals of mental disorrs.

THE STUDY CLAIMG AI CAN TELL IF YOU’RE GAY OR STRAIGHT IS NOW UNR ETHIL REVIEW

As the Amerin queer theorist Eve Sedgwick warned 1990, the qutn of what mak someone gay is not easily separated om “the sentially gay-genocidal nex of thought through which [] has veloped.

Our ncern is that such studi enurage to rce beg gay to somethg that n be unrstood, or worse “cured”, through science.

Recently, tersex advot have warned of how doctors have prcribed a steroid lled xamethasone to prevent homosexualy and “physil masculisatn” fet intified as female. They themselv warn agast some potential homophobic of their rearch. Predictg someone’s sexualy may sound nocuo, but plac that crimalise or police homosexualy and genr non-nformy, the nsequenc of predictn n be life threateng.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CAN NOW TELL IF SOMEONE IS GAY OR STRAIGHT

For example, the Malaysian ernment issued a “gui” for intifyg homosexuals that relied on physil and social characteristics. The Czech Republic, for example, has ed phallometric ttg to terme whether a person seekg asylum is really gay or not.

This is a procs where electros are attached to the penis of people watchg gay porn to measure physlogil aroal. Not only are such tts vlatns of privacy, they are wholly accurate termg whether someone intifi as gay or fac persecutn bee they are perceived to be gay.

It turns out you don’t need to rely on your own gaydar bee there is puter algorhm n terme wh a high level or accuracy. They found artificial telligence was able to distguish between gay and straight men wh 81 per cent accuracy, and 74 per cent for femal. Acrdg to the study, the software was able to distguish sexual orientatn by the by pickg up on subtle differenc facial data found homosexual men had narrower jaws, larger foreheads and longer nos, while gay women had larger jaws and smaller foreheads than their straight unterparts.

Artificial telligence n now tell whether you are gay or straight simply by analyzg a picture of your Stanford Universy rearchers have reported startlg accuracy predictg sexual orientatn g puter Michal Kosski and Yilun Wang, whose rearch will be published by the Journal of Personaly and Social Psychology, say that AI n distguish between the face of a heterosexual man and a homosexual man 81 percent of s. For women, the predictive accuracy is 71 parison, the scientists say, the average human is ls apt at intifyg between straight and gay people purely based on an image: We are only able to gus rrectly 61 percent of s for men and 54 percent for scientists prented the algorhm wh five facial imag of a sgle person, the accuracy creased to 91 percent for men and 83 percent for women. Advanced puter analysis pared different facial characteristics and found that gay men and women tend to have "genr-atypil" featur: fixed featur such as the shape of one's nose or jaw, and transient featur such as hairstyle and facial scientists then tted this ia to measure the "facial femy" of each image, or the probabily of that face beg female.

AI N TELL IF YOU’RE GAY OR STRAIGHT JT BY YOUR FACE - STUDY

"The rults show that the fac of gay men were more feme and the fac of lbians were more mascule than those of their rpective heterosexual unterparts, " the study said. "Among men, the data-driven measure of facial femy posively rrelated wh the probabily of beg gay. However, Kosski tells The Enomist, the rearch is not tend to be ed to profile or "out" homosexual men and women.

Even though there are exampl throughout history om the ancient Greeks to the 18th century of people practisg physgnomy, basilly judgg a person’s character or liftyle om their facial featur, a recent study om Stanford Universy giv a morn-day versn to ntemplate—puters termg if a person is gay or straight through facial-tectn technology. Datg webse and found that a puter algorhm was rrect 81% of the time when was ed to distguish between straight and gay men, and accurate 74% of the time for women. One pattern the mach tected the study was gay women and men typilly had “genr-atypil, ” “groomg styl, ” featur and exprsns—gay men appeared more feme and gay women appeared more mascule.

ARE YOU GAY OR STRAIGHT?

Another trend the mach intified was that gay women tend to have larger jaws and smaller foreheads then straight women while gay men had larger foreheads, longer nos and narrower jaws than straight men. As quoted an article by The Guardian on the subject, Nick Rule, an associate profsor of psychology at the Universy of Toronto who has published rearch on the science of gaydar said, “It’s certaly unsettlg. Unsurprisgly, that origal work kicked up a massive fs at the time, wh many skeptil that puters, which have zero knowledge or unrstandg of somethg as plex as sexualy, uld really predict whether someone was gay or straight om their fizzog.

The Stanford eggheads behd that first rearch – Yilun Wang, a graduate stunt, and Michal Kosski, an associate profsor – even claimed that not only uld nral works ss out a person’s sexual orientatn, algorhms had an even better gaydar than humans. Notably, straight women were more likely to wear eye shadow than gay women Wang and Kosski’s dataset.

Straight men were more likely to wear glass than gay men. So, do this mean that AI really n tell if someone is gay or straight om their face? It would mean that blogil factors such as a person’s facial stcture would dite whether someone was gay or not.
