MIT’s Big News: Scientists Develop AI That Picks Up Emotions Even Better Than People Do
A highly sophisticated artificial intelligence program is now able to read human facial expressions and listen to the intonations of a person’s voice to determine what emotion they are feeling with accuracy better than that of a human being, which researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently developed. The new methodology includes deep machine learning based on microscopic changes in facial motion—something the ordinary human eye cannot detect.
A new system called “SenseAI” may be applied in numerous spheres, starting from the field of medicine up to the sphere of virtual assistants. At clinical settings, it may help in the diagnosis of the early stages of nervous system disorders or even treatment efficacy evaluation. In the technological area, this AI would therefore ensure a much friendlier and easier human-computer interaction.
This shows the increasing use of artificial intelligence in scientific research and underscores new ways by which humans and technology can interact.
