The perceptions of facial expressions by artificial intelligence is unreliable, according to researchers at the AI Now Institute.
Researchers alarmed by the harmful social effects of artificial intelligence have called for a ban on automated analysis of facial expression in hiring and other major decisions.
The AI Now Institute at New York University is urging a ban on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) that automatically analyzes facial expressions to influence hiring and other decisions.
