Artificial intelligence can predict personality traits by tracking eye movements, says study

Now artificial intelligence (AI) has come up with a detailed breakdown of someone's character by mapping tiny eye movements against a list of personality traits. A study, by the University of South Australia, tracked the eye movements of 42 participants as they went about their daily lives doing ordinary tasks around a university campus. The recorded movements were then compared to the result of personality questionnaires completed by the subjects. Next, researchers used machine learning algorithms to map individual's eye movements with the'big five' personality traits - openness to experience, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. They found that each individual's unique pattern of eye movements could be linked to their personality traits.
