TikTok clearly leverages facial featurisation extensively to make recommendations.
It is not surprising that a loosely supervised algorithm found this to be the best strategy to generate engagement: TikTok seems very 'appearance oriented’ and, well, people have specific tastes.
It is more surprising that the AI seems to have bypassed any ethical evaluation of algorithmic bias.
