Physiognomy is a discarded 19th-century pseudoscience. However, AI bias seems to be resurrecting it. Why is this happening again? This project investigates human trust in AI by exploring bias in facial analysis systems. It juxtaposes face analysis from AI mathematical models with judgements from the pseudoscience of physiognomy to draw parallels between these two biased forms of sense making.
