Laupus Library is currently hosting the traveling exhibition “Promising Future, Complex Past: Artificial Intelligence and the Legacy of Physiognomy.” Developed by the National Library of Medicine, this exhibit presents the history of physiognomy, the belief that a person’s physical appearance is indicative of their character and examines its lasting impact on modern technologies in artificial intelligence and computer science that analyze bodily data (National Library of Medicine, 2025).

To learn more about physiognomy and its relationship to artificial intelligence, stop by the Evelyn Fike Laupus Gallery, 4^th floor Laupus Library from June 30th to August 2^nd, 2025.
