Artificial Intelligence Powered Robots Can Look Deep Into Your Eyes, Understand Your Personality, Study Says

A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to'read' human personalities. The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms may soon have the ability to peer into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience. "Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality," wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team follows 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determines their personality traits with "well-established questionnaires" for deterring personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.
