An algorithm deduced the sexuality of people on a dating site with up to 91% accuracy, raising tricky ethical questions.
Artificial intelligence can accurately guess whether people are gay or straight based on photos of their faces, according to new research suggesting that machines can have significantly better “gaydar” than humans.
The study from Stanford University – which found that a computer algorithm could correctly distinguish between gay and straight men 81% of the time, and 74% for women – has raised questions about the biological origins of sexual orientation, the ethics of facial-detection technology and the potential for this kind of software to violate people’s privacy or be abused for anti-LGBT purposes.

Fake.
Sexual preferences aren’t determined by looks. Certainly there’s “acting gay” but that’s a video - not a still picture.
And saying the guy with rainbow hair and nose ring is gay doesn’t require an AI

Oh nos...
A bigoted piece of software...
Wouldn’t it be better to do a blood test? Oh wait. There is no blood test, no known gene that reveals homosexuality.
People weren’t born that way.
Oops...
Waiting for the other shoe to drop, the anger by some groups when this concept hits some folks in the public up along side the head.

"...and the potential for this kind of software to violate people’s privacy or be abused for anti-LGBT purposes." The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if SJW's used it to discriminate against heterosexuals.

Sexual preferences aren’t determined by looks.The outcome of this "research" would agree with you.
It seems to confirm that looks are determined by sexual preferences.

ROFL, how un-PC!
We’re not supposed to be able to tell.
Of course, this might also upset those who insist they are gay and are exposed as frauds just trying to get attention and “popularity”.
