An interactive essay that uses your webcam and on-device ML to analyze your face — estimating your age, attractiveness, BMI, and emotional state to reveal how these algorithms work and what assumptions they encode.
Why it is useful
One of the most effective privacy and AI literacy tools available. By turning the algorithms on you, it makes viscerally clear how facial analysis works, what assumptions are baked into the models, and how uncomfortable it feels to be scored on dimensions you didn't consent to. The explanatory text is thoughtful and research-backed. More memorable than any written explainer about algorithmic bias.
