How Emotion AI is becoming a real opportunity for developers

ADM: Tell us a bit about Affectiva, and the company's SDKsPitre: We are an MIT Media Lab spin-off and consider ourselves the pioneers of Emotion AI. We coined the term and are now defining this category, which is essentially the next frontier of artificial intelligence.We live in a world full of hyper-connected devices, smart technology, advanced AI systems -- lots of IQ, but no EQ -- these technologies are not able to adapt to human emotion. I think that is a problem: it not only affects how we interact with technology, but also how humans communicate with each other as more and more of these interactions take place in a digital context. Consequently, we are on a mission to bring emotional intelligence to the digital world, thereby humanizing technology. Our software measures emotions through facial expressions, unobtrusively, using a standard webcam or device camera.
