Predictim's scans analyze the entire history of a babysitter's social media,
which, for many of the youngest sitters, can cover most of their lives.
This is a major problem, not just for Predictim, but for any service offering to evaluate someone's work
potential on the basis of their social media pages.
So she turned to Predictim, an online service that uses"advanced artificial intelligence"
to assess a babysitter's personality, and aimed its scanners at one candidate's thousands of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts.
Predictim's chief and co-founder Sal Parsa said the company,
launched last month as part of the University of California at Berkeley's SkyDeck tech incubator, takes ethical questions about its use of the technology seriously.
