I like faces. Why deny a key part of being human?
If you don't know why one might want this, you might be a white male, or at least white, or at least male, or at least a member of the majority race in your locality. I've definitely wanted this on a few occasions, to avoid being discriminated.

So following this logic train, the only actual faces one may see would be white males. Everyone else gets a mask?

Maybe? But I'm going to get what I wanted.

#26Wow, this works pretty well. Makes me think of that chapter in Infinite Jest where videoconferencing gets popular, until people start using "optimized" computer-rendered images instead of showing their actual faces, at which point everyone goes back to audio-only.
I wouldn't mind video conferencing with computer generated avatars. I don't video conference to know what the other person looks like, and in fact knowing what they look like just creates lots of unnecessary bias. I do it for the cues from their gestures, facial expressions, the direction they are looking, etc. With a good tracking setup that works perfectly well today with digital avatars.

Would that then just be a proxy for not being a white male and present the same problems? I am not sure what this solves to prevent discrimination.
I mean if a VC hands me a term sheet or a hiring manager hands me a job and the ONLY thing I misrepresented is my face, I don't think they have any ethical grounds to retract their offer.
Solving the discrimination problem is another matter, and will take years if not decades, my dreams cannot wait for that.

Looking white male, isn't enough if you go down that road. Accents, tone, pitch of the voice would also need to match
But I imagine accent change could be another subject of a future deep learning project.
