In a move that should frighten no one who isn’t frightened by the notion of a state using technology to classify you as a pyschotic by merely documenting your head gestures while you walk to your car, scientists have now enable police to determine if someone is psychotic by merely tracking their head movement in a crowd and having it analyzed by artificial intelligence algorithm finder who will be able to faithfully determine that yes, indeedy do, that person is, in fact psychotic.
Ok, so they’re not quite sweeping crowds and figuring this out, yet, but they are using this device to analyze the head bobs of people being interviewed by the police at hq. The experiments have begun right here in America, in New Mexico, with a study done among prison inmates.

Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can detect signs of psychopathy based on head movements.
Using head tracking algorithms, experts in New Mexico found evidence that male prison inmates with higher levels of psychopathy kept their head more stationary during police interviews…..
The study, published in the Journal of Research in Personality, represents an ‘important first step’ in demonstrating the feasibility of using computer vision in conjunction with psychology, the authors claim.
‘I’ve been interviewing individuals high on psychopathic traits for more than 20 years,’ study author Kent A. Kiehl, a psychology professor at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, told PsyPost.
