Abstract

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, attaining a genuinely objective evaluation of facial aesthetics has posed considerable challenges owing to the inherent subjectivity of human observers. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has demonstrated significant potential in facial aesthetic evaluation owing to its inherent objectivity. However, whether it can objectively reflect public aesthetic preferences and its consistency with human aesthetic evaluations remains controversial. This study aimed to explore the consistency between AI facial aesthetic scores and human aesthetic preferences, evaluating its potential and reliability in clinical applications.
