This demand has led to the rapid emergence of Emotional AI, which aims to build trust in how computers work by improving how computers interact with humans. However, some researchers have already raised concerns that Emotional AI might have the opposite effect and further erode trust in technology, if it is misused to manipulate consumers. In essence, Emotional AI attempts to classify and respond to human emotions by reading facial expressions, scanning eye movements, analysing voice levels and scouring sentiments expressed in emails.

How AI is getting an emotionally intelligent reboot

人工智能如何获得情商上的重启

背景：今天的技术拥有相当的认知智能，但却没有情感智能。高智能的系统被广泛应用在各个领域，不再是只充当数据处理等“后台”功能，而是更多地被部署在和数字助理和自动驾驶等“前台”职位。我们正因此面临共情危机。重新设计技术，使之更“以人为本”至关重要。这种需求引导科研人员对情感人工智能进行开发，意图让电脑通人情，从而改善人机互动模式，让更多人信任技术。但也有许多反对的声音。不少人担心，一旦机器拿到了人类情感机制的钥匙，就会被用来左右甚至操纵人的感情，以达到商业或犯罪目的。总而言之，情感智能的开发有两大风险：一是表现太差，引致有害的结果;一是任务完成得太好，打开了滥用的潘多拉之盒。想想人工智能要是掌握了PUA骗术或是情感勒索的技巧，就不禁浑身冒冷汗。
