According to the researchers, the human brain isn\u2019t wired to read this data from a face, but according to these results, it is there, and an AI can detect it. This raises a bigger issue: who will have access to AI in the future, and what will they use it for?<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2017\/sep\/07\/new-artificial-intelligence-can-tell-whether-youre-gay-or-straight-from-a-photograph\">article<\/a> in The Guardian is fascinating and scary. It describes new research that is able to predict with 91% accuracy if a man is homosexual, based on just five photographs of the face. Similarly, it has a 83% precision in predicting homosexuality in women. This makes the AI leaps and bounds better than its human counterparts, who got the responses 61% and 54% correct, respectively \u2014 more or less a coin toss, useless as a measure. The researchers describe how the human brain apparently isn\u2019t wired to detect signs that are clearly present in the face of an individual, signs that are demonstrably detectable.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, this would just be a curiosity, akin to \u201ccomputer is able to detect subject\u2019s eye color using camera equipment\u201d. But this particular detection has very special, and severe, repercussions. In too many countries, all of which we consider underdeveloped, this particular eye color \u2014 this sexual orientation \u2014 happens to be illegal. If you were born this way, you\u2019re criminal. Yes, it\u2019s ridiculous. They don\u2019t care. The punishments go all the way up to the death penalty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what happens when a misanthropic ruler finds this AI, and decides to run it against the passport and driver license photo databases?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What happens when the bureaucracy in such a country decides you\u2019re 91% gay, based on an unaccountable machine, regardless of what <em>you<\/em> think?<\/p>\n<p>This highlights a much bigger problem with AIs than the AIs themselves, namely, what happens when despotic governments gets access to superintelligence. It was discussed briefly on Twitter the other day, in a completely different context:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/x.com\/zeynep\/status\/904707522958852097<br>\n\u201cToo many worry what Artificial Intelligence \u2014 as some independent entity \u2014 will do to humankind. Too few worry what people in power will do <em>with<\/em> Artificial Intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, having a 91% indicator is not enough to convict somebody in a court of law of this \u201ccrime\u201d in a justice system meeting any kind of reasonable standard. But it doesn\u2019t have to be a reasonable standard.<\/p>\n<p>If you want an idea of what could happen, well within the realm of horrifying possibility, consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/McCarthyism\">McCarthyism era<\/a> in the United States, where anybody remotely suspected of being a communist were shut out from society: denied jobs, denied housing, denied a social context.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would have happened if a computer of the time, based on some similar inexplicable magic, decided that a small number of people were 91% likely to be communist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They would not have gotten housing, they would not have gotten jobs, they would lose many if not all friends. All because of some machine determined them to possibly, maybe, maybe not, probably (according to the machine builders), be in a risk group of the time.<\/p>\n<p>We need to start talking about what governments are allowed to do with data like this.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the governments which need such a discussion the most, are also the governments will which allow and heed such a discussion the least.<\/p>\n<p>Privacy really remains your own responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fascinating and horrifying new AI algorithm is able to predict your sexual orientation with 91% accuracy from five photographs of your face.
