Google's PaliGemma 2 AI Models Stir Emotion Recognition Concerns

Google's new AI model, PaliGemma 2, claims to identify emotions in images, raising concerns among experts about the reliability and ethical implications of such technology. Critics argue that emotion detection is inherently subjective and culturally biased, with potential for misuse in areas like law enforcement and employment. Despite Google's assurances of extensive testing for bias, experts remain skeptical about the model's accuracy and the broader societal impact of emotion-detecting AI.
