AI system achieves 96% accuracy in determining sex from dental X-rays

This isn’t a surprise or shock. The Jaw bone development is highly influenced by sex hormone exposure. I personally look at the jaw bone (followed by the rest of the skull) before the pelvis when guessing the probable sex of a skeleton.

Are you doing that in a professional capacity or is this more of a hobby?

They can also do this for retinas, which human doctors can't notice any sex differences in.

Useful for terminators

Do they have xray vision? It looked more Infra red to me.

Really?

Even if this is useful, it just means becoming more dependent on AI, which overrides any benefit in my opinion. Also, it seems like putting AI in a title is just a new way to get clicks.

Refusing to use tools "because you become dependent" has thankfully never stopped any human invention.

The use of "AI" in the title is 100% appropriate. The researchers used common machine learning approaches for the identification. Putting that into the title seems to be the opposite of click bait.

This is such a classic. Better not invent the wheel or we will despair once we forget how to use our feet.
