AI needs to be more emotional - SlashGear

Smart personal assistants are the new weapon of choice of tech giants, but, idyllic as they may sound, they are currently a misnomer. These artificially intelligent assistants might be good at analyzing speech patterns, spoken commands, and connecting to Internet services, but they aren't yet that capable yet when it comes to accurately predicting what we really want, let alone anticipating what we need. But most importantly, these AI lacks a critical element that would make these personal assistants truly relatable, but is also the most difficult human trait to reproduce: emotion. Artificial intelligence has mostly concerned itself with things like machine learning, language processing, and similar "hard" aspects of knowledge formation, and rightly so. These functions and features of human intelligence are more easily quantifiable than emotions.
