AI can now guess your psychological well-being from your voice. It gets it right 80% of the time.

New research shows that AI models can now predict a person's psychological well-being from just a few minutes of their spoken words. Researchers tested several large language models and found they could guess a person's well-being score with 80% accuracy.

This paper shows that AI can extract subtle cues from speech that correlate with psychological states. This means future mental health screening tools could use voice analysis to identify potential issues. It also raises questions about privacy and how this data might be used without consent.
