The Future of AI: Emotions, Senses, and New Business Models
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving to encompass emotional intelligence, with research and startups suggesting that AI will become "emotionally aware." Affective Computing, a branch of AI, focuses on recognizing and simulating human emotions through sensors, software, and data analysis. This development opens up possibilities for AI to understand and respond to human emotions in various contexts, such as the workplace and customer interactions. While emotionally aware AI offers exciting potential, there are also concerns about privacy, ethics, and the risk of misinterpreting emotional cues. It is crucial for business leaders and policymakers to approach this evolving domain with caution to ensure that emotional AI serves humanity and respects our rights.
