Key point
A study has found that AI predicts individuals more accurately based on past behavioral data than on humans' own self-descriptions.
Details
According to research by economists, AI can predict individuals more accurately through past behavioral data than through humans' self-descriptions.
The key findings of the study are as follows:
- Superiority of behavior-based prediction: AI inferred people more accurately from actual behavioral data than from self-introductions written by users.
- AI's self-description ability: Person descriptions written by AI based on analysis of behavioral data showed higher accuracy than descriptions written directly by humans. This suggests that humans have limitations in expressing themselves through language.
- Human selection bias: When given the choice of what data to provide to AI, people tended to convey their own self-description rather than more accurate behavioral data.
