Don't act like this project will have actual real world uses and ramifications. No, it won't literally teach people to associate good or bad qualities with facial features, because nobody will ever use it for practical purposes. No, there's no liability to promote prejudice, this is just some programmers ML side-project.

Right now what? Sounds like you're jumping at shadows. In general false positives are good for finding errors in systems. However, they can go too far and lead to pathological patterns like human immune system self-alergies.
