    I'm curious how they determined an AI """accurately""" labeled a face was gay or crime, this claim sounds 6 telephone calls away from whatever the source material is.

      The APA PsycNet article says:—

      Facial features employed by the classifier included both fixed (e.g., nose shape) and transient facial features (e.g., grooming style). Consistent with the prenatal hormone theory of sexual orientation, gay men and women tended to have gender-atypical facial morphology, expression, and grooming styles.

      The first article, in Nature, while claiming better-than-human ability at identifying the conservative/liberal in a pair of photos, goes on to undercut the phrenological conclusions the poster undoubtedly wants to make.

      Predictability of political orientation from facial images does not necessarily imply that liberals and conservatives have innately different faces.

      But the Wired article is the most 'fun', since it takes the time to point out the obvious criticism, that:—

      […] it is impossible to predict criminality without racial bias, “because the category of ‘criminality’ itself is racially biased.”

      and also mentions the source of the crime-prediction claim:—

      “Crime is one of the most prominent issues in modern society,” said Jonathan W. Korn, a PhD student at Harrisburg and former New York police officer, in a quote from the deleted press release.
