Excerpts from article:
...Airbnb has developed technology that looks at guests' online "Personalities" when they book a break to calculate the risk of them trashing a host's home.
...The background check technology was revealed in a patent issued by the European Patent Office and published in the US last year.
...According to the patent, Airbnb could deploy its software to scan sites including social media for traits such as "Conscientiousness and openness" against the usual credit and identity checks and what it describes as "Secure third-party databases".
...The machine learning then calculates the "Compatibility" of host and guest.
...Airbnb said the patent was a continuation of its work after acquiring background check start-up Trooly, but declined to comment on its uses.
