AI can determine your personality through text chat

AI personality development involves integrating human-like qualities, such as empathy and humor, into artificial intelligence systems to enhance user engagement. Ethical considerations play a critical role in its advancement to ensure responsible usage. These AI personalities possess the potential to reshape interactions between humans and AI, transforming our relationship with technology.

AI personality analysis refers to the process of examining and understanding the distinct personality traits and characteristics exhibited by artificial intelligence systems. This analysis involves evaluating how AI interacts with users, the language it uses, and its emotional intelligence, if applicable. By dissecting AI personalities, developers and researchers gain insights into their effectiveness, potential biases, and ethical implications.

Furthermore, AI personality analysis aids in tailoring AI systems to specific tasks or user preferences, ensuring they provide more personalized and engaging experiences. Ethical considerations are also paramount in this field to mitigate any unintended consequences or biases that may arise from AI’s personality traits. In summary, AI personality analysis plays a crucial role in shaping the future of human-AI interactions and advancing the responsible development of AI technologies.

MELBOURNE, July 2020: Australian AI recruitment start-up Sapia, has published peer-reviewed research validating a new AI-based approach to talent assessment that determines personality and job suitability through text.

Personality assessments have long been used to supplement CV data. It is widely accepted that one’s personality can be a predictor of job performance and suitability. Thus, Sapia uses structured text-based interviews, NLP, and machine learning to identify personality traits by analysing text answers to questions related to the job being applied for.

Every candidate gets a “chat based smart interview”. As no demographic data is gathered from other sources such as CVs, the process is blind to gender, race and characteristics that are not relevant in candidate selection. The research validates the accuracy of Sapia’s AI approach. Lastly, it also signals a huge improvement to personality tests, where the candidate experience is underwhelming.

Also Know, Personality AI refers to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to analyze and understand human personality traits, tendencies, and behavior patterns. This field of AI has gained significant attention in recent years, as businesses and organizations seek to better understand their customers, employees, and other stakeholders.

From the leadership at Sapia

Barbara Hyman, Sapia (Formerly PredictiveHire) CEO says chat-based interviews address the three big failures of current assessments – ghosting, bias and trust.

“Recruiters are the ultimate ghosters,” Ms Hyman says. “With Sapia, the fact that every single candidate receives a personalised learning profile is gold for candidates and your employer brand. Using text to analyse fit that’s blind to gender, race, age and any personal factors is a must-have in today’s current climate and means every company can introduce bias interruption for every hire and promotion. Imagine what that will do to diversity in hiring”

Principal Data Scientist Buddhi Jayatilleke says “language has long been seen as a source of truth for personality- it defines who we are.  This technology offers a direct way to understand personality from language. All is done by using an experience that is human and empowering. Additionally, this capability can be used for assessment and personalised career coaching. Furthermore, it could be a game changer for job seekers, universities, and employers.”

Candidates across 34 countries have experienced Sapia’s unique chat-based interviews. More insight into how the technology works can be found here. https://sapia.ai/science-explained/
