Artificial Intelligence is able to discover who is homosexual and who heterosexual, an unpublished study by Stanford University, Palo Alto, has concluded that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is able to accurately correct the sexual orientation of a person with just analyze your face.

Specifically, more than 35,000 labeled human faces were used so AI could develop the algorithm needed to detect whether a person is heterosexual or homosexual. The images extracted them from dating applications, because many users registered children and also the orientation is tagged, which the rest much work to the research team.

Artificial Intelligence was able to detect with 81% accuracy when it was before a man, whereas in the case of women the figure dropped to 71%, but the thing does not end there: if I provided with 5 images of each person (in the previous case only one was available), the AI ​​was 91 and 83%, respectively. The study states, "homosexual men and women tended to have typical morphology, facial expression and facial styles of the opposite gender".

The determining features were the forehead, jaw, chin, nose and eyebrows. In the case of homosexual men, the forehead was wider, the jaw and chin narrower, the nose longer, and the eyebrows thinner. In the case of the homosexual woman, of course, the features of her face were totally contrary.

The problem comes, as the study says, could easily violate the privacy of people when they know their sexual orientation. In other words, it would be sufficient for a government or company to develop an AI with the same function in order to discover the sexual orientation of each person.
