An international team of researchers has developed an AI-powered algorithm that demonstrates a link between eye movements and personality traits. Conducted on 42 participants were tracked going about their daily routines and data was fed into an AI algorithm to determine participant’s dominant personality traits, comparing these with results of well-know personality tests. The study is the first time such a system has been used in real life for this purpose. Developed by the University of South Australia in partnership with the University of Stuttgart, Flinders University and the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Germany, the research uses state-of-the-art machine-learning algorithms to demonstrate a link between personality and eye movements. While the trial used a small sample size, the researchers believe the approach could be used to improve interactions between people and computers.
