• Researchers collected and analyzed over 62,000 conversations with AI models to predict personality traits.
  • The AI model was able to identify user traits with up to 61% accuracy, particularly successful in predicting agreeableness and emotional stability.
  • AI was more successful when it had access to longer conversation history, suggesting higher likelihood of personality identification the more users interact with AI systems.
  • Researchers warn of significant large-scale risks if malicious actors begin exploiting personality data for manipulative campaigns.
  • The study used the ‘Big Five’ personality traits model: agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, extraversion, and openness.
  • Researchers hope the findings can be used to develop tools that reduce the risk of oversharing personal data with artificial intelligence.
