Wearable AI will help judge the tone of conversations

A single conversation can be interpreted in very different ways. For people with social anxiety or conditions like autism, this can make social situations extremely stressful. But a new device that can detect if a conversation is happy or sad based on speech patterns could make life easier for people who struggle in these situations. The Samsung Simband predicts if a conversation is happy or sad based on a person's speech patterns. Long pauses and monotonous vocal tones were associated with sadder stories.
