Can Artificial Intelligence Really Detect Your Emotions?

While the technical and innovative aspects of emotion recognition artificial intelligence (AI) are impressive, the depth and accuracy of the technology still remain debatable. There are several ways in which businesses or governments use facial recognition technology. While it may have its fair share of ethical issues, facial recognition is an invaluable resource for detecting behaviors on the basis of the various non-verbal cues shown by people and what they may represent or precede. Emotion recognition is an extension of this technology. Emotion recognition AI uses machine learning algorithms to analyze how individuals emotionally react to specific situations and how their face reflects the reaction.
