AI That Knows How You Feel: The Rise of Emotion-Detecting Tech

Artificial intelligence is no longer just about crunching numbers or recognizing faces – it’s learning to read how we feel. So-called emotion-detecting AI (also known as Emotion AI or affective computing) uses algorithms to analyze our facial expressions, tone of voice, text messages, and even body signals to infer human emotions. The promise is enticing: more intuitive apps, empathetic robots, and personalized experiences that respond to our moods.
