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.

Quartz, 4/5/17. In our digital worlds, there is a gap between the real you and the algorithmic “you.” Online, you live in a realm functionally distinct from the world you thought you knew: one where your data assigns you a gender different from your own, or a citizenship unlike the one in your passport. Your right to privacy from government surveillance modulates according to how the NSA interprets your data via its algorithmic logic of citizenship.
