Summary

" Scientists at Mass General Brigham have developed an AI called FaceAge, which estimates your 'biological age' by analyzing facial features. The model considers both natural aging and life experiences, such as muscle tone and hollowed temples, and has been used to accurately predict survival chances in cancer patients. However, concerns about bias due to training on mostly white faces and potential issues with appearance variations from makeup or surgery have raised eyebrows, along with worries that insurers might exploit this technology for premium pricing based on fears of high medical costs."
