study of facial features might indicate evidence of potential criminality. Comment

Link Troubling Study Says Artificial Intelligence Can Predict Who Will Be Criminals Based on Facial Features

Comment: While it is true that it need not necessarily be the case that such predictions might be based on nothing more than spurious correlation, such is still a very real and valid possibility.  Until more is known about the genetics of face formation, the alternative cannot be entirely ruled out.  The body's organ development sometimes shares genes for different systems.  The size of organs involved in testosterone production or the size of certain brain regions could be in part influenced by genes that influence facial shapes.   IT is not yet entirely beyond conception that such could not only be shared in some way but that one may signal aspects of the other system.    Though again that is speculation, more information is needed regards facial development and why the genetics of it which may be evidenced in the constructed features may or may not associate with criminal tendencies.
