A study at Stanford University revealed that AI facial recognition can predict political beliefs from neutral facial images.

The research involved 591 participants and included a political orientation survey paired with numerical face data generation.

Researchers highlighted significant privacy risks associated with facial recognition technology.

The study warns of the dangers of biometric surveillance in online political messaging and its greater-than-anticipated threats.

Findings underscore the potential influence of facial recognition on politics and the need for caution with its extensive deployment.
