other images showing faces rather than images of actual people before the camera.\u00a0 As the 1600 images were filtered out of the body of the archive, positioned and cropped automatically by the computer, I was surprised by the result.\u00a0 Insofar as the world is represented in my archive of ~120,000 photographs from the last ten years, Colonel Sanders has the most represented face in our culture, with Beyonc\u00e9 not far behind.\u00a0 The majority of the pictures are of faces that are placed in public by the commercial desires of industry and as such they are often insincere in appearance and expression.\u00a0 The fact that the computer fails so consistently may alternately have galling or entertaining implications, but the perceptiveness of the algorithmic determination of humanity from an image source is certain to improve.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column col-md-4\"><\/div><\/div><\/section><section  class=\"content-section full-width with-col cover
