What happened

Artificial intelligence was able to predict personality traits such as agreeableness and emotional stability with up to 60 % accuracy, according to a new study.

Why it matters

Artificial intelligence can predict a user’s personality based on their chat history, a new study finds.

Common ground

In a pre-print study, researchers from ETH Zurich asked 668 ChatGPT users from the United States and the United Kingdom to share copies of their chat history with them, and trained an AI model to infer personality traits from these chats.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
