Mariana Uses Artificial Intelligence to Build Personas and Find Target Audiences

Can computers understand an individual human's personality (and then, presumably, use that understanding to better target marketing messages)? It turns out that's no longer even a question: if you haven't yet played with CrystalKnows, be prepared for some weirdly accurate insights into yourself and those you know well, based on public Internet information. And, yes, Crystal advises you how to interact with others based on those insights, going so far as to suggest changes to your emails to better fit the style of the recipient. If there's a gap between this and letting a computer just manage the whole relationship without any human involvement, it's almost too small to worry about. So the real challenge isn't having the computer analyze your data; it's having enough data for the computer to analyze.
