AI assistants will soon recognize and respond to the emotion in your voice

AI that can understand how you're feeling based on the emotion in your voice will open up whole new areas of personalization. You know when people say that it's not what you say, but how you say it that matters? Well, very soon that could become a part of smart assistants such as Amazon's Alexa or Apple's Siri. At least, it could if these companies decide to use new technology developed by emotion tracking artificial intelligence company Affectiva. Affectiva's work has previously focused on identifying emotion in images by observing the way that a person's face changes when they express particular sentiments.
