Ep.05 AI and Emotion Recognition Technology: The new frontier of biometrics?
Some in AI circles consider emotion recognition to be the next logical step beyond facial recognition. But can my emotions predict my future actions? Is it really possible to accurately recognise emotions from outward expressions?
In this episode, Nidhi and Shashank are in conversation with Vidushi Marda on Emotion Recognition Technologies (ERTs). They discuss what ERTs are, the ‘science’ behind it, and what implications it holds for people.
Vidushi Marda is a lawyer and researcher who investigates the societal impact of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Her work engages with technical, policy, academic and advocacy communities. She has produced pioneering research on machine learning particularly in non-Western jurisdictions. Most recently, she has been actively involved in advocacy efforts at the EU level vis-a-vis the EU AI Act, and is a regular contributor to United Nations resolutions on privacy, freedom of expression and digital technologies.
