SUMMARY:“Promising Future\, Complex Past: Artificial Intelligence and the Legacy of Physiognomy” Traveling Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Promising Future\, Complex Past: Artificial Intelligence and 
 the Legacy of Physiognomy\, a traveling exhibit created by the National 
 Library of Medicine\, presents the history of physiognomy – the practice 
 of assessing one’s mental character based on physical attributes – and 
 explores its influence on the contemporary artificial intelligence and 
 computer science technologies that gather and interpret bodily data. Now 
 debunked as pseudoscience\, physiognomy enjoyed periods of legitimacy and 
 popularity over a history spanning millennia\, influencing the fields of 
 medicine\, biology\, philosophy\, anthropology\, psychiatry\, and 
 criminology. After serving as a tool for scientific racism and eugenics\, 
 physiognomy was roundly discredited in the 20th century. \n\nWe’ve 
 rejected the harmful aspects of physiognomy\, but efforts to gain 
 information from human physical characteristics continue with today’s 
 technologies\, which have the potential to make the world safer\, improve 
 health\, and affect how we get information. \n\nExhibit is free and open to 
 the public and Spanish translation is available.
