Reading: “How Normal Am I?”
For the first Tech and Society Discussion Group meetup, we’ll be discussing “How Normal Am I?”, an interactive demonstration of how artificial intelligence perceives your face. Everyone interested who’s a student is welcome to join; we’ll be discussing questions such as:
- Can facial recognition really calculate someone’s age and demographics?
- Is it morally acceptable to have AI assign beauty scores to people’s photos?
- What are the ways that facial recognition can be used for good and for bad?
- How are cultural and social values embedded in such technologies?
