A research team at the University of Barcelona (UB) has shown how artificial intelligence (AI) models can detect personality traits from written texts, and for the first time has managed to analyze in detail how these systems make decisions. These results, published in the journal PLOS One, open up new perspectives for understanding how personality manifests itself in natural language and also how more transparent and reliable automatic detection tools can be built.A research team at the University of Barcelona (UB) has shown how artificial intelligence (AI) models can detect personality traits from written texts, and for the first time has managed to analyze in detail how these systems make decisions.

Bill Gates-backed AirLoom begins building its first power plant
Wind power has run into some headwinds, and not the kind that spin its turbines. Recently, President Trump has decided to wage war against the technology, an unwelcome bit of friction that coincides with rising costs in recent years. Onshore wind power went for $61 per megawatt-hour last year, according to Lazard, bucking a decade-long […]Wind power has run into some headwinds, and not the kind that spin its turbines.
