Can AI predict future baldness based on photos of teen faces ?

What do you think?

Current AI systems can analyze facial photos and estimate some hereditary or age-related features, but predicting future baldness from a teenage face remains unreliable. Studies show modest predictive power for male-pattern baldness when training models on large longitudinal photo sets that include ground-truth follow-up images, yet performance drops in younger cohorts and in women where hormonal and genetic interactions are more complex. Because visual cues like hairline recession are subtle in teens, present tools are not suitable for clinical or personal use and are best treated as experimental curiosities.
