Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Faception develops facial personality analytics technology that reveals personality traits and behavioral tendencies from facial images at scale. The technology uses proprietary computer vision and deep learning classifiers trained on millions of facial images to predict personality characteristics without requiring identity, phone data, or social media information.
The company positions itself as a decision support system providing actionable intelligence through predicted traits and behavioral analysis. Faception operates anonymously without needing personal identification, and claims its analysis is objective and not biased by race, class, gender, or age. The company stores only mathematical classifiers rather than personal data.
Dual-use relevance is exceptionally high: facial personality analytics has direct applications in public safety, law enforcement threat assessment, border security screening, and intelligence operations. The same technology that helps commercial entities understand customer personality for sales and marketing can be applied to security screening, threat identification at checkpoints, and intelligence-driven profiling for defense and homeland security operations. Faception has received funding from investors and operates in both commercial and security domains.
