LLMs can infer user personality traits from chat history, posing privacy risks

Researchers have investigated the privacy risks associated with conversational agents (CAs) by analyzing chat logs to determine if personality traits can be inferred. Using data from 668 participants and over 62,000 chats, they fine-tuned RoBERTa models to predict personality from these interactions. The models demonstrated an ability to infer traits like extraversion with accuracy significantly above random chance, particularly in contexts related to relationships and personal reflection, highlighting potential misuse of sensitive personal information.
