Emotion AI
A branch of AI that assigns estimates or labels associated with affective research. Those outputs are not direct measurements of a person's emotions.
Emotion AI — also called affective computing — combines computer vision, speech processing, and behavioral modeling to produce estimates or labels associated with affective research. Those outputs are not direct measurements of a person's emotions.
Applications described by the field include research, product testing, communication review, and human-computer interaction. High-stakes uses require particular caution, governance, and legal review.
