Israeli Start-up to Provide DHS With Facial Recognition Tech That Digs Up Character TraitsBy Joseph Jankowski An Israeli start-up claims that its technology can take one look at a persons face and realize character traits that are undetectable to the human eye. The Washington Postreports: Faception said its already signed a contract with a homeland security agency to help identify terrorists. The company said its technology also can be used to identify everything from great poker players to extroverts, pedophiles, geniuses and white collar-criminals. We understand the human much better than other humans understand each other, said Faception chief executive Shai Gilboa. Our personality is determined by our DNA and reflected in our face. Its a kind of signal. Faception has built 15 different classifiers, which Gilboa said evaluate with 80 percent accuracy certain traits. The start-up is pushing forward, seeing tremendous power in a machines ability to analyze images. The idea of having artificial intelligence (AI) profiling you to find out who you are, simply by looking at your face, is an idea that might scare some into thinking that this technology could lead to some very inaccurate predictions and governmentoverreach. Pedro Domingos, a professor of computer science at the University of Washington, is one of those people who think this type of AI profilingcould get a little messy. Can I predict that youre an ax murderer by looking at your face and therefore should I arrest you? Domingos told the Washington Times. You can see how this would be controversial. Alexander Todorov, a Princeton psychology professor whose research includes facial perception, is also concerned. The evidence that there is accuracy in these judgments is extremely weak, he said. Just when we thought that physiognomy ended 100 years ago. Oh, well. By examining the current security state in the West, this type of technology would most likely find a home inside of airports and public transportation hubs. Faception chief executive Shai Gilboa admits that dangers liein the computer systems imperfections. This leads one to wonder if simple characteristics like a beard or a scar could lead to someone being labeled a terrorist. And if that person is labeled a terrorist, what then follows? The slippery slope brought on by this type of big brother technology is very slippery. Joseph Jankowski is a contributor for Planet Free Will.com.

Our personality is determined by our DNA and reflected in our face. Its a kind of signal. Oh whatever. What a preposterous notion! It is funny, people will believe anything if the right person says it. Whats next, Phrenology? What absolute quackery! It just proves Phrenology was right. (If it does work.) I see were trotting out genetic determinism again. Its a myth, according to unbiased research.

This whole concept is BS and dangerous to liberty. For a few years I looked just like the actor Daniel Craig (Im eight years older and it shows now), but this technology insists he and I had near-identical character traits for a while? What rot! I dont have half Daniels confidence and charisma so the concept fails before it gets started. How could it distinguish our personalities when we looked so alike? Nice, so some israeli company has made som sofware that will classify the goyim into any category they want. The computer thinks you are a sociopath goy, so no goodies for you. We think youve got it just right! Funny how they neglect to mention the most obvious thing about this guy. You dont need tech to see whats in the character of a zionist
