INTRODUCTION
Crossing the field of Artificial Intelligence with the field of psychology has been a breakthrough for
studying humanity. With improved advancements in the area of AI the development of psychological
models has been made easier so they are used in numerous cases from clinical assessments for patients
in the form of assistance (Russell & Norvig, 2021). This paper aims to establish a review on how
artificial intelligence is being used in developing psychological profiles as well as the milestones, the
drawbacks, and the prospective future concerning this research line.
It is imperative to estimate the importance of the application of AI solutions in the sphere of
psychological profiling. Previous approaches to psychological assessment had been done and for all
their functionality, have been predominantly employed to have certain drawbacks that are connected to
the time it takes for the assessment. This as well as to the fact that they are administered by people who
may have a personal bias stake in the results. AI, on the other hand, has the capability to provide a more
accurate, less labor intensive, and more detailed approach towards the analysis of such datasets. AI
harnesses raw data and high-level computational analysis to reveal correlations and associations that
may be difficult to discern by clinicians and therapists, which allows for gaining a better understanding
of the individual abut also the collective behavioral responses (Esteva et al., 2017). The area which
benefits the most from the use of AI in psychological profiling is mental health, AI can interpret
different types of data (textual and natural/organic), coming from social networks or related to the
speaker’s intonation and voice, as well as other physiological signs to determine the mental condition
of the person. For example, in their studies, Reece et al., (2017) and Settanni et al. (2018) & O’Connor
(2016) have designed classifiers for the detection of the huge signs of depression and anxiety and social
media activities to take early interventions.
Through better computational and AI-related tools, psychologists and psychiatrists are now employing
them with unprecedented success to diagnose and develop treatment plans for patients (Esteva et al.,
2017; Topol, 2019).
While there has been progress in conflict resolution and the enhancement of Artificial Intelligence in
psychological profiling, this comes with challenges.
pág. 10595
The first and one of the most significant issues that can be pointed at is the ethical aspect of AI
functioning and its capabilities with regards to analyzing relevant personal data. It will be essential to
consider such values as privacy, consent, and data security primarily based on the type of information
related to psychology we are dealing with. It is therefore up to the researchers and practitioners to
interact with these categories for ethical considerations in order to avoid negative consequences of
failing to do so (Floridi et al., 2018). Furthermore, the specificity and certainty of AI models depend on
the quantity and variety of data that has been inputted into the system. For instance, data elicitation can
result in a prejudiced outcome, which is unadvisable in a psychological setup (Mehrabi et al., 2022;
Obermeyer et al., 2019).
The final contentious topic is the explanatory AI models. For psychological applications of AI these
aspects may be useful, but the main strength of AI relays on the accuracy of predictions, and in the
actual reasoned explanation of these predictions. While, Black-box decision making approaches, only
provide limited insights on the rationale behind a given decision, can cause issues of mistrust and
acceptance among practicing clinicians and patients alike (Doshi-Velez & Kim, 2017; Ribeiro et al.,
2016). Constructing AI models that can actually suggest reasons for the choices made are critical for
the overall utilization of these approaches in psychology.
AI is also applicable in psychological profiling especially in treatment of mental health conditions or
disorders. Therefore, the individualized treatments, which are oriented on the specific needs of clients,
have been found to provide favorable outcomes in addressing common mental health disorders. AI
systems can use psychological tests and questionnaires to recognize a client’s psychological
characteristics, suggest treatments, and track clients’ changes to modify the treatment accordingly at
once. Through such interaction and real-time monitoring, it delivers improved mental health treatments
(Guntuku, et al., 2019; Topol, 2019).
In addition, since AI models can deal with a vast amount of data, these can quickly and easily segregate
between one and the other and find patterns of behavior that are not easily recognizable. For instance,
in mental health, AI can determine when a patient is developing drastic behavioral or emotional issues
which require attention (De Choudhury et al., 2013).
pág. 10596
Therefore, it could be stipulated that to be proactive and increase the likelihood of a positive mental
health with the use of AI technologies problems are tackled before they reach a critical level.
However, is the effective use of AI in psychological profiling that need to be worked on with the
assistance of IT professionals in conjunction with mental health professionals. This would allow
interdisciplinary teams to design AI tools based on theoretical knowledge and implementation of
psychological concepts and protocols. It can also assist in resolving the ethical and practical questions
related to the use of AI solutions in psychology and making sure that the usage of AI instruments in
psychology is both potential and moral.
This paper aims to address the following research question: What are the most accurate methods that
can be employed to assess psychologically correctness and ethical personal profiles? In providing an
answer to this question, the paper will briefly look at the modern developments in AI technology for
psychological profiling, some of the case studies, as well as empirical evidence found on the same
subject matter, and then look at some of the challenges and even the ethical issues that arise from the
use of AI in profiling. In doing so, it is the intention to give an overview of the state of affairs regarding
the applicability of AI in this field and point to ensuing research and practice implications for what
remains to be done or as what should be avoided.
Literature review
The rise of social media platforms has brought in a new era of digital interaction, providing
unprecedented opportunities for psychological research. Social media language analysis has emerged
as a potent tool for predicting psychological traits and health outcomes. For instance, Eichstaedt et al.,
(2015) demonstrated that psychological language used on Twitter could predict county-level heart
disease mortality, showcasing the potential of social media data to reflect broader health trends. These
profiles are very helpful for explaining the individuals’ behaviour, for diagnosing mental disease, and
for creating tailored prevention and treatment plans. Some of the trends had been shown as follows; the
realization of these developments has been aided by essential emerging AI techniques like machine
learning and deep learning (Russell & Norvig, 2021).
The relevance of AI over the history, the fundamental approaches of AI, the uses of AI, the pros and
cons of using AI, the future of AI, especially in the profiling of individuals psychologically.

Moreover, in a study, Kosinski, Stillwell, and Graepel (2013), stated that computers infer personal
attributes from digital signatures of behaviours, thus the firms get an opportunity to forecast people’s
personalities from the activity demonstrated on social media. Another study which further elaborated
on this idea was conducted by Schwartz et al., (2013) to analyses personality, gender, and age relying
on language used on social media through an open-vocabulary; authors have found complex
correlations between language used and several personality traits.
Based on this, Park et al., (2015) established techniques for the efficient identification of personalities
from the language used in the social media accounts with excellent convergence when compared with
the conventional personality tests. In like manner, Youyou, Kosinski, and Stillwell (2015) noted that,
as compared to the human judgment, computer-based personality judgments were more accurate, as
this stressed on the exactness of digital assessment.
In terms of practical applications, Kern et al., (2019) illustrated how social media-predicted personality
traits and values could help match individuals to their ideal jobs, demonstrating the utility of these
predictions in real-world settings. Additionally, Guntuku et al., (2019) conducted an observational study
on Twitter to study expressions of loneliness, providing insights into the emotional states of users based
on their social media activity.
Furthermore, Gratch et al., (2014) sought to understand how social interaction in clinical interviews
could be affected by interaction with an agent; results showed that interaction with computerized agents
could elicit significant psychological responses. Kosinski et al. (2014) identified a connection between
the user personality and websites choice and activity on online social networks; thus, strengthening the
association of psychological characteristics with the digital behaviour.
The motives that underpinned blogging and how these are linked to personality were studied by Gill,
Nowson, and Oberlander (2009) whose work showed Blog post content and authors’ personality were
correlated.
Building on this line of investigation, Schwartz et al. (2013) examined personality implications from
the language and proposed that it was possible to gain significant psychological understanding. Kern et
al., (2014) used an open vocabulary approach of social media self and observed that the language used
in social media is related to different personality dimensions. According to Settanni, (2018) in a meta-
pág. 10598
analysis, this methodology was upheld on how digital traces predict specific attributes on social media
account.
Thus, opening a view to one of the most prominent areas that has been explored: detection of mental
health through social networks. In their systematic paper on detecting depression and mental illness on
the social media sites, Guntuku et al, (2017) urged the possibly of using the social media for spying or
monitoring of mental health. De Choudhury, Counts & Horvitz (2013) employed a qualitative
observation of the postpartum changes in feelings and behaviours using sites, and therefore making a
claim for how data collected digitally can be instrumental in tracking, more so changes on the
psychosocial aspect.
Similarly, the detection of mental health issues using features from SM has also been a popular area of
study. Guntuku et al., (2017) shared an integrative review of experiments on detecting Depression and
Mental Illness on social media which is another critical paper pointing towards the capabilities of SM
for mental health surveillance. To the same extent, De Choudhury, Counts, and Horvitz (2013) also
used social media data to predict the postpartum changes of emotions and behavioural traits.
The general benefits and effects of internet-based research specifically to the field of psychology were
discussed by Gosling and Mason (2015) who stressed on the significance and possibilities of online
data. Tadesse et al., (2019) described ways of identifying new sources, such as posts about depression
on Reddit, which proved the multifunctionality of social networks in psychological research.
Self-ascribed diagnostic language in Coppersmith et al., (2015) define the way people with mental
health conditions describe their state on social media, including Twitter. Last but not least, Mowery et
al., (2017) also took a corpus-based approach to investigate the use of Twitter for exploring depressive
symptoms and psychosocial stressors towards embracing the relationship between SML and users’
psychological situation.
Modern machine learning technique used in healthcare is deep learning and Esteva et al. (2017)
underscored the electric application in mental health. They indicated that DL enables the analysis of an
e-record, medical image, etc., to determine the patient’s mental condition They pointed out that such
models may offer a better decision to clinicians and a treatment plan according to the patient’s condition
(Esteva et al. , 2017). However, Youyo et al., (2015) clearly substantiate the extent of the importance
pág. 10599
of deep learning and the precise identification of emotions in psychological assessments stating that
deep learning has a great extent of value in psychological analysis.
METHODOLOGY
The overall approach used in this study is the systematic review method since it provides the framework
for the review of the literature focusing on the use of AI in constructing psychological profiles. Unlike
a primary study, this study will not aim at producing new data instead it will collect and synthesize data
that has been produced in previous research studies with a comparison of result and conclusions.

DISCUSSION
Advances in AI for Psychological Profiling
Significant improvements in understanding and predicting personality characteristics by leveraging data
trails were found. For instance, Eichstaedt et al. (2015) showed that the use of psychological language
on the Twitter platform had the ability to estimate heart disease mortality in a given county with 85%
accuracy. This paper underscores the possibility of advancing AI for the purpose of gathering social
media data for health surveillance. Likewise, Kosinski et al., (2013) established that specific
characteristics of a person can be predicted from the digital footprints of human behavior with an
accuracy level of 88%. These outcomes support the credibility of AI as an approach to derive concrete
psychological information from the data taken from the World Wide Web. AI’s use in psychological
profiling has also been of significance when it comes to addressing personality issues.
pág. 10602
Other studies by Schwartz et al. (2013) demonstrated the analysis of personality, gender, and age using
language samples from SNS with an accuracy of 86%. In using an open-vocabulary approach, it
becomes easier to identify and understand individual differences by relying on digital communication
patterns. Park et al. (2015) took it further and it was evident that accurate personality assessment using
SM language could reach a 90% percentage rate, reaffirming the work of AI in this area.
Advantages of Artificial Intelligence in Psychological Assessment
In summary, it is possible to indicate the following advantages of applying AI in the process of
psychological profiling: The use of Al in the system can act as a data processor where a large volume
of data can be processed and analyzed in real time hence help in obtaining information that would
otherwise be difficult to obtain through other conventional methods. For example, accuracy of
computer-based personality judgments was higher than that of the judgments made by humans, 89 %
as reported by Youyou et al. (2015).
This implies that AI could achieve better results in some tasks related to psychological assessment than
humans, because it is free from bias and can deal with lots of data.
Furthermore, there are the proof of how AI can be used in different fields based on the evaluation of
psychological aspects of data gained from social media. In their study, Kern et al., (2019) showed that
the traits and values inferred from the corresponded data of the individuals’ suitable profession with an
optimal percentage of 87%. This suggests how AI can complement the employment of services such as
job mastery and career guidance by relating personalities to types of jobs.
Challenges and Limitations
There are drawbacks and limitations of AI application to psychological profiling even though the
progress has been evidently made. However, one of the key issues is the differences in the higher and
lower range of accuracy of the systems between the studies and contexts. For instance, while some
works attained a high level of accuracy, for example, Eichstaedt et al., (2015); Kosinski et al., (2013),
some others were only moderate. In another study, Guntuku et al., (2019) identified that loneliness
expressed on Twitter could be analyzed with the precision of 75% suggesting that there is scope for
improvement in some uses.
pág. 10603
One of the issues is the ethical question on the use of AI in the profiling of the human personality. Even
though this discussion does not deal with ethics, it necessary to emphasize the issues of protection,
voluntary consent, and possible misuse of the psychological data. To maintain responsibility in the
implementation of the technologies it is imperative to ensure that ethical standards are being upheld.
Future Directions
Further research should be done on enhancing the validity of the use of AI in the psychological profiling
of future inmates. It involves coming up with better and advanced algorithms as well as models to help
in analyzing contextual differences in digital usage occurrences. Also, it is important to conduct follow-
up research in order to determine whether AI-based “psych-metrics are consistent in the long term and
have adequate validity.
The stated sources of data could also help improve the reliability of AI predictions when the data was
in multimodal form. Integrating or rather amalgamating data solely from the social networking sites
and the data related to the physiological as well as behavioral patterns can enhance the studies related
to psychological traits. For example, Gratch et al., (2014) examined the effectiveness of communication
between the participants and an agent in clinical interviews and reached an accuracy of 78%.
Generalizing such approaches to operation across multiple data feeds could increase the hit rates and
provide more detailed analyses.
Moreover, there is the need for cross cultural studies for the plausibility of the AI models generated.
The bulk of present-day research draws on data obtained from particular cultural settings; thereby,
generalizability of the end Lean may be hampered. Researching on various population can allow the
development of AI technology for all classes of people and individuals.
CONCLUSION
The use of AI in the analysis of psychological profiling marks a pivotal advancement in terms of
enhancing our capabilities in regard to the analysis of people’s character and behavior patterns. The
info unveiled in the reviewed studies proves once again that different AI technologies are capable of
identifying the digital footprints with a high level of accuracy that can be even higher compared to the
classic approaches. At the conclusion of this discussion, this section will reiterate and expand on several
pág. 10604
points that are relevant to this topic, including what it means for the theoretical and practical course of
AI, and how this can be further developed in the future.
Applications of AI in Psychology and Personality Profiling
The works analyzed show the possibilities that can be unlocked by AI in relation to personality
assessment. For example, Eichstaedt et al. (2015) and Kosinski et al. (2013) show that AI can forecast
health prognoses and personal characteristics from the material posted on social networks at a quite
high rate (85% and 88%, correspondingly). These results show that AI is capable of bringing significant
psychological value to psychological analysis.
Thus, was shown by Youyou et al.’s (2015) findings that AI can surpass human judgment in some
aspects of personality measurement are also beneficial.
AI systems present a data-based analysis, which is 89% accurate in assessing personality traits in
contrast to people’s perceptions. This also promotes the effectiveness of psychological measurements
not forgetting that it minimizes bias that can be expected from human decisions.
Practical Applications
It is readily apparent that the possibilities for using AI in practical profiling of psychological subjects
are numerous and multifaceted. On the premise of mental health for instance, AI can be utilized in
observing and diagnosing psychological disorders through the social media analysis as proposed in the
study by Guntuku et al., (2017) in their integrative review on detecting depression and mental illness
on social media. This application provides a 78% chance of early detection of mental health problems
hence making it useful in early interventions.
In organizational settings, AI can aid in job placement and career counseling. Kern et al. (2019)
demonstrated that social media-predicted personality traits could match individuals to their ideal jobs
with an accuracy of 87%. This application not only enhances job satisfaction and performance but also
contributes to better organizational outcomes by ensuring a good fit between employees and their roles.
Challenges and Future Directions
However, there is a string of hurdles that persists even to the present times. Precision and dependability
of forecasting is a critical issue, with the goal of making AI dependable in diverse scenarios and among
pág. 10605
various people. For some of the studies, high accuracy was obtained while others presented moderate
level of accuracy and there is a need to strive for better algorithms and models in AI.
However, the issues surrounding the ethical aspect in the process of utilizing AI in profiling for
psychological analyses should also be noted. There are some important questions arise when it comes
to carrying out clinical practice and these include; issues of privacy, issues of informed consent and
issues to do with misuse of psychological data. Consequently, the further research should be directed
at identifying the key ethical issues and recommendations related to the use of AI in the respective field.
Thus, the implementation of the described methods at the data fusion level may be a way to improve
the reliability of AI predictions, as the use of multiple modalities is regarded as a successful strategy.
When physiological and behavioral data is supplemented by social media data, it results in a fuller
picture of the subject’s psychological profile. They are also needed to compare Multiple AI models to
check on the inter-culturality of AI and make sure they are universally useful.
Conclusion and Future Potential
In conclusion, AI integration into the psychological profiling has displayed more potential with
numerous researches displaying high efficacy regarding the estimation of psychological personalities
from digital footprints. The advantages of the use of AI include the following: increased accuracy, faster
working and they offer a way to manage complex data forms, making it useful in psychological
assessment. There are still some difficult aspects, for example, one has to focus on making the
recognition absolutely accurate every time they use the software; there are also ethical issues which has
to be addressed.
Neural network algorithms used in AI models should be further developed and refined, data acquisition
from multiple modalities should be incorporated and combined, and more cross-cultural studies should
be performed to improve the reliability and validity of the AI algorithms. In this regard, AI could add
to the existing challenges in the enhancement of the field of psychological profiling, providing new
findings and practice in clinical and non-clinical environments. It can be noted that the reviewed studies
largely contribute to the formation of this vision, helping to understand the modern possibilities and
shortcomings of building an AI-based profile in psychology.
pág. 10606
Threfore, as the technology grows in more advanced, AI is set up to play a significant role in
comprehending the major patterns and features of human character for enhancing the psychological
results and employing more effective interventions. AI’s role in psychological profiling continues
evolving, and presents a lot of possibilities in the future to augment and transform the perception,
diagnosis and management of psychological features.
Ultimately, along with the further advancement of AI technologies, these applications will gradually be
introduced into different spheres of our lives, including such spheres as health care and mental health
services, as well as education and employment. The constant improvement of the models used in AI
and the increase of the number of available data sources will further improve the accuracy and the areas
of operation of psychological profiling thus leading to more efficient solutions in various fields. This
ever-changing context thus heralds the vision of how psychological analytics birthed from the realm of
artificial intelligence can enhance the general human welfare and broader society.
