#affectivecomputing — Public Fediverse posts

"The good news, for me at least, is that the computer thinks I have a nice personality. According to an app called MorphCast, I was, in a recent meeting with my boss, generally “amused,” “determined,” and “interested,” though—sue me—occasionally “impatient.” MorphCast, you see, purports to glean insights into the depths and vagaries of human emotion using AI. It found that my affect was “positive” and “active,” as opposed to negative and/or passive. My attention was reasonably high. Also, the AI informed me that I wear glasses—revelatory!

The bad news is that software now purports to glean insights into the depths and vagaries of human emotion using AI, and it is coming to watch you. If it isn’t already: Morphcast, for example, has licensed its technology to a mental-health app, a program that monitors schoolchildren’s attention, and McDonald’s, which launched a promotional campaign in Portugal that scanned app users’ faces and offered them personalized coupons based on their (supposed) mood. It is one of many, many such companies doing similar work—the industry term is emotion AI or sometimes affective computing.

Some products analyze video of meetings or job interviews or focus groups; others listen to audio for pitch, tone, and word choice; still others can scan chat transcripts or emails and spit out a report about worker sentiment. Sometimes, the emotion AI is baked in as a feature in multiuse software, or sold as part of an expensive analytics package marketed to businesses. But it’s also available as a stand-alone product, and the barrier to entry is shin-high: I used MorphCast at no cost, taking advantage of a free trial, and with no special software."

Kann die KI fühlen? Nein. Aber sie versteht unsere Emotionen oft besser als wir selbst. 🧠🤖

Google has hired the Hume AI staff to embed voice and emotional intelligence into DeepMind models. Imagine AI that reads tone, stress and empathy—advancing affective computing. Alan Cowen says this could reshape human‑AI interaction. #AffectiveComputing #VoiceAI #DeepMind #HumeAI

Presenting the #affectivecomputing & recommendation system DEGARI (Dynamic #Emotion Generator And ReclassIfier) in the SPICE project in Haifa.

DEGARI employs the TCL reasoning framework (https://www.antoniolieto.net/tcl_logic.html) to generate complex emotions and uses them to classify and to recommend museum items

⚡ I'm launching a new podcast!

2023 brought us the brains to machines with LLMs.
2024 brings the emotions with Affective Computing.

That's why the first season of my new podcast, Digital Dialogs, is all about Affective Computing and emotional AI! In the first episode, I explain the basics and set the stage for the incredible discussions to come.
If you're fascinated by how machines can understand and respond to our emotions, this is for you.

Deeply honored to receive the Best Dissertation Award from @affectScience

It has been a tremendous joy to develop these ideas with @rebecca_saxe, who was involved in every aspect of my thesis.

I'm beyond grateful to Rebecca and Josh Tenenbaum for helping me develop a research program that I'm excited to continue past my PhD. The annual SAS conference makes it abundantly clear that the topic and field are only getting more interesting each year.

Next was a fascinating discussion with Abdallah El Ali on designing affective augmentation systems at @chiwork. Using quick applications of heat and cold, the work presented here shows significant changes in affective reactions to statements. The implications of this kind of intervention is profound and complex, and combined with other work in #VR influence presents complex ethical questions. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejjChzsBhow (3/9) #HCI #AffectiveComputing
