When my father was growing up in 1930s Brooklyn, every boy in his neighborhood had a nickname. Even my dad had one too. Sadly, nicknames seem to be declining, and there may be a good reason. In Dad?s day, the pool of names was relatively small. In 1950, there were only about 10000 names on the Social Security list of those given to five or more babies.

A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read

human eye movements to “read” human personalities.

The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms ( 算法) may soon have the ability to look into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neurosci …… 此处隐藏：15457字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
