Corsight AI, a subsidiary of Israeli AI company Cortica, said it developed a program that can use a DNA sample and create an image of a face that can be run through facial recognition, MIT Technology Review reports. However, experts in the field consider the program “scientifically untenable.” The company’s marketing materials state the technology is intended for government and law enforcement applications. Experts skeptical of Corsight AI’s program believed it “would exacerbate the ethical, privacy, and bias problems facial recognition technology already causes.”
