Automated Vulnerability Profiling
Machine inference of a person's psychological state — from posts, purchases, wearables, timing — used to target persuasion at the moment of greatest susceptibility; psychological targeting measurably raises conversion.
An everyday example
Loan offers timed to a user's late-night browsing and inferred financial stress.
What it can cost you
Being approached precisely when your defences are lowest, by a system that knows it.
Warning signs
- The timing was perfect for them.
- I was vulnerable and they seemed to know.
One thing to do
Assume timing is not coincidence; impose your own decision windows and treat unsolicited offers in low moments as suspect by default.
