| Name | How Normal Am I? |
|---|---|
| Overview | How Normal Am I? is an interactive AI art project by Tijmen Schep, supported by the European Union’s SHERPA project. It demonstrates how facial-analysis models produce beauty, age, BMI, gender-category and expression estimates, exposing bias rather than measuring a person’s worth, identity or health. The creator says face processing runs locally in the browser. The life-expectancy display is not machine learning: it uses country tables and a BMI-based calculation that the creator describes as having little merit. Optional anonymous statistics may be shared at the end with permission. |
