Real News Crazier Than Comic Books - A.I. with "Gaydar" and Robots "Healing" Themselves, Seriously

in #news7 years ago

In the world of robots and A.I., two stories have made their way around that are very interesting to say the least.   First is Stanford University has released a study that included the use of artificial intelligence reading pictures of people and with that determine their sexual orientation.   The results were as follows:

 The AI was accurate in 81 percent of cases for men and 74 percent for women. However, accuracy jumped to 91 percent and 83 percent, respectively, if given five photographs of a person. In contrast, a human trying to determine a person's sexual orientation was right 61 percent of the time for men and 54 percent of the time for women. 

A conclusion that can be reached is more solidifying with evidence regarding genetics and sexuality.   The fear news version of this story is that someone would use the ability to have this information about a person without having to ask them but just by taking their picture and do something... fearful.   I would recommend no one do that, you do not want to piss off any gay people and cause them to make more hurricanes.  


In the robot side of the news, Vrije Universiteit Brussel researches were inspired by the soft tissues of humans and our healing properties to create, you know what, let's just roll a clip so you can see this thing in action:

I'm one of those people whose scared of AI, so I don't like reading about this sort of progress. Also what if they get it wrong? That's going to be awkward...

Oh wait, you basically do lol. How about you just upvote when you want to upvote. I am always running on low power, that is Steemit's algorithms problem, not mine.

A problem which sucks. I too hate it when people just put genetic comments just to put a comment. It's worse when it's not even connect to the content of what you even wrote.
