Voters have a right to keep their political beliefs private. But according to some researchers, it won’t be long before a computer program can accurately guess whether people are liberal or conservative in an instant. All that will be needed are photos of their faces.

Michal Kosinski – the Stanford University professor who went viral last week for research suggesting that artificial intelligence (AI) can detect whether people are gay or straight based on photos – said sexual orientation was just one of many characteristics that algorithms would be able to predict through facial recognition.

Using photos, AI will be able to identify people’s political views, whether they have high IQs, whether they are predisposed to criminal behavior, whether they have specific personality traits and many other private, personal details that could carry huge social consequences, he said.​

“He wasn’t punished this bad in China.” That’s how the outspoken basketball dad explained his decision to withdraw his son LiAngelo from school without playing a single game. The middle Ball brother was given an indefinite suspension as punishment for being caught shoplifting in China while traveling for an exhibition game. Now youngest Ball brother LaMelo’s verbal commitment to attend UCLA in two years is under scrutiny.

There have been a fair share of trendy, destructive social media “challenges” on YouTube over the years: The “[URL='https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/22/consequences-of-the-cinnamon-challenge/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0&mtrref=www.washingtonpost.com&gwh=B72FED8BB4A76C3E709ACF4BE8FDB77D&gwt=pay']Cinnamon Challenge,” the “24 Hour Polar Plunge Challenge” and, at one point in 2014, the “Fire Challenge,” where — that’s right — you set yourself on fire.

But after a British YouTube prankster’s stunt went so badly Wednesday he required a fire brigade rescue, it seems unlikely the “Cement-Your-Head-In-A-Microwave Challenge” will gain any traction.
