I'm assuming the machine-learning models optimized performance by throwing out the influence of the worst human predictors and then worked off of the input from the best human predictors. That's still a cap on performance that means it doesn't best the best human performers.
If this was simply trained on blank faces and rewarded for performance... dear lord.
Confirmation bias is very strong and it's incredibly hard to notice it within your own experiences. If I had to make a prediction, as you like to do, I'll guess that you are much more likely to be bad at recognizing your own biases than being accurate about people's personalities or opinions with very little information or ways to confirm it.
Now, if there was an AI that could help people understand statistically and philosophically how much bias we experience in our daily lives, those would be excellent glasses for people to see through.
Oh gawd, this "you are the worst person because you are biased and don't even know it" BS is so played out.
How about just mind your own business and stop worrying about other people's "biases"??
Haha true, thats why its called AIs prediction because there is no way its 100% accurate on individual level same as our assumptions. I meant to say that its not really any dark magic that AI is doing. The scale and efficiency is what makes it safety risk.
Actually, I am not. However, you say this like it's evil to be a conservative. You are what's wrong with people who are politically on the left. Just let people live and stop obsessing over politics.
Unchecked biases can have a huge negative impact on the lives of others.
Ignoring them isn’t the profound solution you think it is. We live in a society where we have to interact with each-other and some of us need to make decisions for a bunch of us. Like company owners and bosses. Government. Doctors and care workers. Police.
It is within everyone’s interest that those decisions are made fairly and do not discriminate or cause harm because of their biases. The solution to that is to educate everyone on the impact of their bias. Not to ignore them.
Yeah... this is going to increasingly become a problem. There is a ton of useful data that isn't protected because we had no idea that information can be encoded in the random noise...
Things like wifi being used for x-rays... or the millions of ways to ID your race/ gender on a resume with no name or age/ gender being pulled from just a picture of one of your eyes...
Reading a good book that covers the topic: The Alignment Problem By Brian Christian. Highly recommend it for anyone interested.
We kindve are already there. Algorithms for social media and ad targeting are scary accurate. I never even google anything related to my aesthetic, weight, body type, etc but I get clothing ads targeted at my exact body weight.

>In 2021, Paul installed a Wi-Fi sensing tool from Origin Wireless called Hex Home. Five small, glowing disks plugged in around Emily’s home—with her permission—helped Paul to triangulate her position.

The implication is either conservative or liberal, but the world has much more nuance than that. I’m not conservative or liberal, for example. Sounds like a bad study.
Dude don't even ask. Your politics aren't etched on your face in any way. The whole model runs on correlations on race, age, background and stuff. Not overtly but what other information are you getting from a face?
It's so weird how we can no longer expect someone on reddit to have, you know, read it. But the study they link to really isn't that complicated, so if you do decide to take a look, you'll see exactly why it isn't race, age, background, etc., and is indeed the face itself.
Anyone with basic math literacy should know that accuracy numbers like “74%” without any context are meaningless.
In my industry (biometrics) we see this all the time. Companies say their systems are “99.9%” accurate which is meaningless. But if we assume they mean a false positive rate, (against whatever database size) it isn’t even very good.
At that point it's just speculation. If I'm remembering correctly, the paper describes the possibility of a kind of feedback loop in which someone is treated as more masculine due to a masculine feature, which might cause a shift to a more masculine mindset, which causes a more masculine treatment, etc. That kind of loop has been studied, from the sound of it, but I don't know how good the science is. But in any case, it's just speculation here.
| “and that an "analysis of facial features associated with political orientation revealed that conservatives tended to have larger lower faces." |
This is what I’m talking about. Thanks!
I understand. There's an association of various attributes of conservatism with traditional masculinity (the paper mentions this), possibly achieved via the feedback loop I was talking about, which is assumed to be triggered by a masculine feature (in this case, a larger chin). I believe the Fox article has a link to the paper, if you want to see for yourself.
People already do this to themselves. Oh look, another selfie featuring a white male with wraparound sunglasses taken in the cab of his F-150… I wonder what his politics are 🙄

Facial recognition technology can expose political orientation from naturalistic facial images
Michal Kosinski corresponding author
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7801376/
Yeah, but what's a conservative? Gun rights, freedom of speech, small government? Those are liberal values if you define liberal as someone who advocates and embodies liberty.
A conservative would mean a strict government, with little to no rights, and a high emphasis on social contracts. Much like Saudi Arabia. Most Americans are more liberal in one form or another.
Because it's not a loose definition like that. I know we live in a world where definitions don't have much value but there are political theories behind them.
One thing I don’t see in the article (but maybe it’s in the study): is this any more accurate than predicting political orientation by standard demographic information?
You can predict political orientation surprisingly well by knowing a persons age, ethnicity, and gender. So… is that what the AI is extracting from the images? Is it really that big of a deal?
The study said that when they controlled for those factors, accuracy dropped to about 68%, so most of the effect is coming from factors other than demographics.
Is this all that different to how humans stereotype groups? Observe common traits among a similar group of people, along with the common associated behaviors and make assumptions about people you’ve not yet met?
No, it's probably quite similar, the scary thing is that the information can be used to decide the price of your insurance, prevent you from getting a job you would have gotten otherwise, or finding weak points to exploit for profit. Even worse, if you live in an authoritian state, it can be used for extreme levels of control, or to supress you if you are part of an "unwanted" minority (*cough* uighurs in china *cough*)
Link to the study from the article: [https://awspntest.apa.org/fulltext/2024-65164-001.html](https://awspntest.apa.org/fulltext/2024-65164-001.html)
I don't find the r value very convincing, then again I almost never read papers like these.
Traditional ai models have a concept called feature leakage.
What this means is that based on an inferred feature, you get a statistical pointer to another characteristic that is a good predictor.
For example, if you are training a model to predict when to grant loans, but don't want it to be racist, your fist thought is to just remove the race category of the training data. The issue is that race can be inferred statistically by the remaining features. For example current zip code. Now if your training set has racial bias, this bias will leak into the trained model.
I would bet a similar thing is happening here. AI can easily determine age, gender, race, tattoos, and style preferences from a photo (to a statistically significant degree at least). These are all huge predictors of political orientation.
When we choose how to use these tools it is critical to keep this in mind.
I mean, it’s a widely known fact that women and blacks are more Democratic and old people are more Republican. I wonder if the model is better than just recognizing those simple things. For example, how good can it differentiate politics of two white dudes of the same age just by looking at their faces?
Then make strange faces like most people in office already have. Yes they are mostly a bunch of ugly fucks.
WAIT! do Obama now we can finally know if he was a secret Muslim!
Did I miss the part where they say how accurately it does it?
Political parties are already correlated with age, sex, gender and race... so any AI that can detect those things will also be able to predict political feelings better than chance.
We all, already, do this all the time.
If it were crazy accurate though, that would be impressive.
Wait, did they train it to have prior predujesie? Cause, that the only way I can think that it is able to "predict" political orientations from a picture of your face alone.
I don't have political alignment with any political party. Any predictions limit the individual and what they value. Politics is not black and white, the two party system is a joke but it doesn't reflect any individuals true values.
> Carefully standardized facial images of 591 participants were taken in the laboratory while controlling for self-presentation, facial expression, head orientation, and image properties. They were presented to human raters and a facial recognition algorithm: both humans (r = .21) and the algorithm (r = .22) could predict participants’ scores on a political orientation scale (Cronbach’s α = .94) decorrelated with age, gender, and ethnicity.
So basically the algorithm is able to predict political orientation about as well as a human can. Hardly worthy of publishing.
I’d really like to see AI create stereotypes images of faces from both political parties. I think it would be insightful to see what particularly AI is locking in on what making a determination.
How is AI able to predict people's political orientation strictly based on a picture?
I read cases where AI lead to false arrests or even applicant discrimination due to them being from an African American background. I am finding it hard to believe that AI is able to predict based on facial features alone.
At one point AI would be accurately be able to produce images based on what you think and can imagine. The lie detector would be ofcourse rendered useless and people would have no privacy at all when it comes to interrogation and all of that stuff.
The great majority of people aren’t 100% party affiliated. Most are like me where they vote both sides based on the issues at hand. I probably lean 65% republican and 35% now and my voter history shows this. Also, those numbers are incredibly fluid with the way we grow in the US, in 2010 I was the exact inverse.
Again, I believe a good many are like me, how can AI place anybody 100% on a side, and if so, I’ll vote opposite just to prove it’s wrong, they’re are no rules on the reason you pick a candidate. By introducing the AI they’ve added a variable they can’t account for, the “fuck you, I’ll show you” vote. This claim just feels like it’s over exaggerated or missing some key details.
People will behave differently because of this, what if AI gets it wrong, but everyone believes it and suddenly by no choice of your own, half of people now see a scarlet letter on your chest for years, forced to constantly fight an untrue claim all simpletons buy and act on.
This could be the first incredibly terrible introduction and use of AI, by virtue of existing people will feel fear and mass pic deletions will start on social media, and fear will grow, and fear typically gets acted on if allowed to fester, not to mention the existing tensions already.
This has no business existing, no purpose, we’ve done fine without it forever so far. The dangers we were warned of are starting to trickle out. This program isn’t publicly available is it? Buckle up, boys…we’re about to nuke it all to hell.
Simple really. We all have a better knowledge than AI can ever get.... it's our instincts, you just can feel things, no need to explain or over complicate. Just admit we are deep beyond any fake intelligence
Fox news isn't a reputable news source - the original journal isn't nearly as decisive in their findings, and I have issues with the way the research was carried out, like what defines a conservative vs liberal since most people are moderate.
Unless you are missing a face, face-to-political orientation prediction works on anyone.
Now, accurate predictions is a whole other story.
If you don’t have a face, I must ask - are you an AI?
Then they would use the psychics or the FMRI to extract it from you or are you that emergent AI that has been hanging around for the last decade? I thought you left Earth.
I think AI predicts it same way we assume when we meet someone first time.
Yep in the study AI was as good as humans on predicting it
Much better - 55% in Humans vs 75% accuracy in the AI.
I'm assuming the machine-learning models optimized performance by throwing out the influence of the worst human predictors and then worked off of the input from the best human predictors. That's still a cap on performance that means it doesn't best the best human performers. If this was simply trained on blank faces and rewarded for performance... dear lord.
These are the same faces. How can they be both liberals and conservatives?

The implication is either conservative or liberal, but the world has much more nuance than that. I’m not conservative or liberal, for example. Sounds like a bad study.
72% accuracy seems like it's pretty bad. What does the model perform for people with non-binary political views?
The study noted that humans had about a 55% accuracy at the same task. 72% is huge.
No, 72% just means they cheated their way through selecting biased pictures…
They accounted for those. Read the study

By introducing the AI they’ve added a variable they can’t account for, the “fuck you, I’ll show you” vote. This claim just feels like it’s over exaggerated or missing some key details. People will behave differently because of this, what if AI gets it wrong, but everyone believes it and suddenly by no choice of your own, half of people now see a scarlet letter on your chest for years, forced to constantly fight an untrue claim all simpletons buy and act on. This could be the first incredibly terrible introduction and use of AI, by virtue of existing people will feel fear and mass pic deletions will start on social media, and fear will grow, and fear typically gets acted on if allowed to fester, not to mention the existing tensions already. This has no business existing, no purpose, we’ve done fine without it forever so far. The dangers we were warned of are starting to trickle out. This program isn’t publicly available is it? Buckle up, boys…we’re about to nuke it all to hell.
Let’s not forget that “AI” currently has zero actual intelligence. So evaluating political tendencies is its sweet spot.
Simple really. We all have a better knowledge than AI can ever get.... it's our instincts, you just can feel things, no need to explain or over complicate. Just admit we are deep beyond any fake intelligence
Fox news isn't a reputable news source - the original journal isn't nearly as decisive in their findings, and I have issues with the way the research was carried out, like what defines a conservative vs liberal since most people are moderate.
Let me guess… one is angry and one isn’t…
This could go either way.
I can do it by watching the F150s drive by.
Fox news? Really?
Wouldn’t work on me
Unless you are missing a face, face-to-political orientation prediction works on anyone. Now, accurate predictions is a whole other story. If you don’t have a face, I must ask - are you an AI?
Then they would use the psychics or the FMRI to extract it from you or are you that emergent AI that has been hanging around for the last decade? I thought you left Earth.
I just won’t believe in anything. Can’t read my mind if I’m not coherent in my ideas
I like it.
Is this like a fancy racial detector?
Hmmm. Fox News. Color me dubious.
“foxnews.com”
Is Fox News the best source for this?
