can there be a gaydar built on artificial intelligence?steemCreated with Sketch.

in #ai7 years ago

I watched a youtube video about a gay guy talking about the accuracy of his gaydar. He estimated around 60 percent.

I understand gaydar is stereotypical and there is no way for us to accurately predict one's sexuality.

But I kind of wonder if it is possible for an AI to predict one's sexuality simply based on one's features, typically like their face, their voice, their arms, their fingers, their hair...etc , or features that we might overlook when studying human sexuality, like number of moles on their back, number of books on their shelves, number of debit cards a person has...

A.I. has done a better job than human to identify object and faces, make diagnosis and play games. alpha go beat human once again a few weeks ago. So given enough training samples , can it be possible for an ai to predict one's sexuality? Can it help us understand more about our human's sexuality?

but building one could possibly create problems, according to the authors of this article, it was unnecessary and dangerous:
