I can definitely see this misused in the hands of wrong people.. heck, even the government or corporate world, like rejecting some candidates during the interview cause they look like criminals or smth? I'm sure it sounds like a cool tech but feels like a disaster to me.

These researchers are clearly building the wrong thing. Why would you analyze a face for criminality?
