The face can reveal more than our age: what artificial intelligence has discovered - Mondosanità
Translated title. Original: Il viso può rivelare più della nostra età: cosa ha scoperto l’intelligenza artificiale - Mondosanità
An AI system called FAHR-Face, using over 40 million photos, links facial features to biological aging and cancer survival signals, with aging cues focusing on certain facial regions and survival cues on others; while promising for assessing frailty, the approach cannot diagnose cancer or predict life expectancy from a selfie, and raises privacy concerns. The study, from Mass General Brigham, was published in The Lancet Digital Health on Oct 19, 2026.
