No company would use ML to classify who’s the most professional looking candidate.
- Anyone with any ML experience at all knows how ridiculous this concept is. Who’s going to go out there and create a dataset matching “proffesional looking scores” to headshots?
- The amount of bad press and ridicule this would attract isn’t worth it to any company.
