According to experts, artificial intelligence can now measure human emotions and is being used in everything from education to marketing.
Can AI Ever Truly Understand Human Emotions? (This is INSANE)
Your emotions could be tracked using your Wi-Fi router and analyzed by AI, according to a new study from Queen Mary University of London. Researchers used radio waves like those used in Wi-Fi to measure heart and breathing rate signals, which can determine how a person is feeling. The study shows just how ubiquitous emotion monitoring could become.
“In education, AI can be used to tailor content to the needs of each child,” Kamilė Jokubaitė, CEO and founder of Attention Insight, who was not involved in the study, said in an email interview. “For example, if the child gets frustrated because a task is too difficult, the program will adjust the task to make it less challenging.”
For the recent study, participants were asked to watch a video selected by researchers for its ability to evoke one of four basic emotion types: anger, sadness, joy, and pleasure. While the individual watched the video, researchers beamed radio signals, like those of any Wi-Fi system, toward the person and measured the signals that bounced off of them.
