OpenAI's GPT-4 AI Model Recognizing Faces, Determining Gender, and Estimating Age with Comparable Accuracy

TapTechNews October 10th news, the tech media TheDecoder published a blog post yesterday (October 9th), reporting that the latest research shows that OpenAI's GPT-4 AI model can recognize faces, determine gender, and estimate age in photos without special fine-tuning and training, and its accuracy is comparable to professional algorithms.

Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Mizani, and Idiap Research Institute advanced this research and tested the biometric capabilities of GPT-4 and found that its performance is comparable to that of specialized facial recognition algorithms such as MobileFaceNet.

In the gender recognition test, GPT-4 achieved a 100% accuracy rate on a dataset of 5400 balanced images, surpassing the DeepFace model specifically designed for this (99% accuracy).

In terms of age estimation, the proportion of GPT-4 correctly identifying the age range is 74.25%. The researchers pointed out that the model tends to estimate a wider age range for people over 60 years old, while the estimation for younger individuals is relatively narrower.

This research also discovered a potential security issue. The researchers found that they could bypass the built-in protection measures of GPT-4 and disclose sensitive biometric information. The team deceived the system to analyze real photos by claiming in the prompt that an image was AI-generated.
