Quotes: “It’s illegal to select [someone to hire] on genetics in the US but at ZIFF — one of the examples with one of the datasets we played with — we showed we can predict genetic markers from a face. It’s primitive and it’s kind of a quick approach but quickly you’re getting into a space where you realize there’s way to much information available to an algorithm.” — Ben Taylor
