What's the State of Emotional AI?

Is emotional AI ready to be a key component of our cars and other devices? Analysts are predicting huge growth for emotional AI in the coming years, albeit with widely differing estimates. A 2018 study by Market Research Future (MRFR) predicted that the "emotional analytics" market, which includes video, speech, and facial analytics technologies among others, will be worth a whopping $25 billion globally by 2025. Tractica has made a more conservative estimate in its own analysis, but still predicted the "emotion recognition and sentiment analysis" market to reach $3.8 billion by 2025. Researchers at Gartner have predicted that by 2022 10 percent of all personal electronic devices will have emotion AI capabilities, either on the device itself or via cloud-based services.
