CONTRADICTIONS
With technology becoming more immersed into our lives, many may be uncomfortable with the idea of an artificial intelligence system diagnosing or analyzing our emotions.
INFLECTIONS
The introduction of a new interactive platform known as Meta, emotional recognition systems will allow for avatars to emit our emotions online in real time.
PRACTICES
Emotional AI is used by medical professionals to diagnose and assist in hospice care. Proctoring platforms rely on facial expressions to determine whether a student is cheating or not.
HACKS
Medical professionals utilizing AI to diagnose patients for mental health problems may face issues with those trying to trick the system. One may portray certain symptoms to gain access to medications. Retailers, like Walmart, are tracking customer emotions through sensors placed on their shopping carts.
EXTREMES
Testing of the effectiveness of emotional AI with cameras placed ten feet away are currently occuring in China. With more practice, cameras placed even further away could become more efficient in tracking citizens.
RARITIES
With robots like the famous Sophia creating goals, would the implementation of emotional AI create future issues over robots taking control? If government surveillance cameras are already used and China is able to analyze facial emotions, what are the chances of a society found in George Orwell's 1984?
