"The AI can make highly accurate predictions about people’s lives, including how likely they are to die in a given time window and their personality traits." ...

They also got the model to make predictions about how people scored on a personality test, and the results outperformed models specifically trained for that task. ...
Obviously, this kind of research raises some thorny questions about privacy and human agency. But the researchers point out that private companies are almost certainly doing similar things with their own data, so it’s useful to understand what these kinds of techniques make possible."
