Artificial Intelligence Is A Game Changer For Personal Devices: Gartner

Emotion artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming so sophisticated that Gartner, Inc. predicts that by 2022, personal devices will know more about an individual's emotional state than his or her own family. AI is generating multiple disruptive forces that are reshaping the way we interact with personal technologies. Roberta Cozza, research director at Gartner said, "Emotion AI systems and affective computing are allowing everyday objects to detect, analyze, process and respond to people's emotional states and moods to provide better context and a more personalized experience. To remain relevant, technology vendors must integrate AI into every aspect of their devices, or face marginalization." The current wave of emotion AI systems is being driven by the proliferation of virtual personal assistants(VPAs) and other AI-based technology for conversational systems.
