Our online profiles are more than just representations of our professional lives — they also appear to be windows into our personalities. A new study, published in the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, reveals that LinkedIn profiles might offer significant insights into individual traits like narcissism and intelligence. This research suggests that machine learning algorithms can accurately infer these traits from the information available on LinkedIn, potentially offering a powerful tool for recruiters and organizations. LinkedIn has grown into the most popular online pro...

For the millions of people living with Parkinson’s disease, tracking the progression of symptoms can be challenging and time-consuming. But now, researchers at the University of Florida have developed a new video-processing system that could revolutionize this process, making it easier to monitor the disease from home with unprecedented precision. The research, published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, describes a video-processing system developed by Diego Guarin, an assistant professor at the University of Florida’s College of Health and Human Performance. This system use...

In a new study published in Psychiatry Research, scientists have discovered that artificial intelligence (AI) can detect loneliness by analyzing unstructured speech. This research offers promising new methods for identifying and addressing loneliness, particularly in older adults, through the nuanced analysis of how people communicate. Loneliness is a pervasive issue affecting people of all ages, with older adults being particularly vulnerable. Defined as the distress caused by a gap between desired and actual social relationships, loneliness can significantly impact both mental and physical h...

Caryn Marjorie is a social media influencer whose content has more than a billion views per month on Snapchat. She posts regularly, featuring everyday moments, travel memories, and selfies. Many of her followers are men, attracted by her girl-next-door aesthetic. In 2023, Marjorie released a “digital version” of herself. Fans could chat with CarynAI for US$1 per minute – and in the first week alone they spent US$70,000 doing just that. Less than eight months later, Marjorie shut the project down. Marjorie had anticipated that CarynAI would interact with her fans in much the same way she would ...

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing many aspects of our lives, from customer support to artistic creation. A new study published in Science Advances provides insight into how these AI systems, specifically large language models, impact human creativity in writing. The findings suggest that AI can enhance the perceived creativity and quality of short stories, particularly for less inherently creative writers, but it also raises concerns about the potential homogenization of creative outputs. Creativity is a cornerstone of human expression and innovation, yet the advent of...

A recent study explored the differences between how humans and ChatGPT retell stories. The researchers found that while ChatGPT provided concise summaries of original stories with minimal changes in further retellings, humans introduced significant variations and novel elements with each retelling. The paper was published in Scientific Reports. ChatGPT is an advanced large language model developed by OpenAI that can generate human-like text based on the input it receives and utilizing a vast database of human knowledge it was trained on. This makes it very useful for answering questions, writi...

Researchers at Boston University have created a groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) model capable of predicting whether a person with mild cognitive impairment will develop Alzheimer’s disease within six years, based solely on their speech. This model has shown an impressive accuracy rate of 78.5%, offering a non-invasive, accessible method for early diagnosis. The findings have been published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and typically progresses through a long phase where only subtle cognitive changes are apparent. Peo...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly sophisticated. In a thought-provoking paper published in Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, Thomas Fuchs argues that true understanding and empathy require the subjectivity that is inherent to living beings, cautioning against the blurring lines between real and simulated interactions. A robot may be able to engage in conversation that mirrors one’s emotions and respond with uncanny human-like behavior, but it’s just that–it’s almost natural. The heart of human understanding hinges on the assumption of each other’s subjectivity, mean...

Researchers in Brazil created a machine-learning system that can determine an individual’s sex based on panoramic radiographs – wide-view dental X-ray images that capture the entire mouth. The system was 96% accurate when the resolution of the picture was good and the individual was older than 16. The accuracy was lower for younger individuals. The their findings were published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences. When forensic experts need to identify an individual based on human remains, determining the sex of the deceased is one of the first goals. Throughout history, various methods have b...

In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Mental Health, researchers from Queen Mary University of London have developed a new method for predicting dementia with over 80% accuracy up to nine years before a clinical diagnosis. This method, which outperforms traditional memory tests and measurements of brain shrinkage, relies on detecting changes in the brain’s default mode network (DMN) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Dementia is a collective term used to describe a variety of conditions characterized by the gradual decline in cognitive function severe enough to interfe...
