Hot "adult entertainment" site Pornhub will begin using a new artificial intelligence system to automatically identify adult stars based on facial recognition technology.

The company said computer vision system model will provide thousands of videos and official photos of these adult stars, the system training. Pornhub video will be marked according to the results achieved, and the user will be invited to a video tag that comes with the "top" or "step" operation.
