Is your face gay? Conservative? Criminal? AI researchers are
Do you think you can tell whether a person is gay or straight simply by looking at them? Well, you could be right, say experts. Two science educators have scoured the research behind so-called. People can guess if a man is gay or straight based solely on a photo of his face — and they can do it even if the man is from a different culture than their own, according to new research from the University of Toronto. But previous research showed that people presented with pictures of men have a better than average chance of sorting them into straight or gay.
Can you tell somebody is gay from their face?
We all look the same! Studies show that “gay face” is real, though the look doesn’t have anything to do with masculine or feminine features. How about we take this to the next level?. A facial recognition experiment that claims to be able to distinguish between gay and heterosexual people has sparked a row between its creators and two leading LGBT rights groups. The Stanford University study claims its software recognises facial features relating to sexual orientation that are not perceived by human observers.
Does ‘gay face’ actually exist? Experts have brilliant
Troublingly, some modern AI applications are delving into physiognomy, a set of pseudoscientific ideas that first appeared thousands of years ago with the ancient Greeks. Recent research has tried to show that political leaning, sexuality, and criminality can be inferred from pictures of people’s faces, risking lending credibility to the very idea of using AI in problematic, physiognomic ways.

Row over AI that 'identifies gay faces'
People can guess if a man is gay or straight based solely on a photo of his face — and they can do it even if the man is from a different culture than their own, according to new research from the University of Toronto. The judgments aren’t perfect. But previous research showed that people presented with pictures of men have a better than average chance of sorting them into straight or gay. YouTube science teachers Mitch Moffit and Greg Brown cited controversial research that found gay people have different physical features than their straight counterparts. Dominic Lees, a professor specialising in AI at the University of Reading, said Moffit and Brown had not carried out any original research, but had only reviewed earlier studies.
