A total pleasure to be a guest on the @BBCRadio4's 'Artificial Human', discussing whether AI can read emotions. The angle on the topic was excellent, as Chris, a listener, had called in asking whether AI can help him understand emotion expressions. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0023ds…

Interest is growing in use of general purpose AI to empathise, especially through partners, companions, and so on. If you want to know more about the good, bad and the icky of all of this, you might want to join the [free] @IEEEorg lecture below.

Ive been longing for someone to extend our work on ghostbots to synthetic avatars of the alive, like Abbatars, and here it is! Thanks @digi_ad ! link.springer.com/article/10…

New paper :) Here I argue that presence is a crucial factor in human-synthetic interaction, esp. in relation to ghostbots. It explains 'presence' and shows why it matters, esp. for those in governance. It gets weird, but there are v.simple recommendations. doi.org/10.1007/s10676-024-0…

to be noted:
"emotional AI for monitoring could arguably discipline an employee if the AI says they sound grumpy on calls, just so long as there’s no inference that they are, in fact, grumpy." @digi_ad

At the EAI Lab we find little evidence for effectiveness of emotional AI tech in a policing or security context, risk of bio-deterministic framings of criminality, deep skepticism from law enforcement (interviews), and high risk in trying to gauge emotion and/or human intent (1).

Great to see @EmotionalAI and Project AEGIS represented by @exLaffer. I'm assuming Alex (in the middle) is just checking his talk notes ;)
Representatives from @responsibleaiuk #Impact Accelerator projects @digi_ad @Marenka @johndmk share their RRI &EDI experiences and lessons learnt so far in a panel session led by @Elvira_PV @VPortilloRRI
Co-edited by the Lab's @mooseabyte with @GratchJonathan, @grgbeal, @RosalindPicard & @MichelValstar, great to see the special issue out on Ethics in Affective Computing

As it stands, we are yet to see any emotion AI technology develop in a way that satisfies data protection requirements, and have more general questions about proportionality, fairness and transparency in this area. (October 2022) ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/med…

Much ado but Neuralink yesterday and today, but brain-computer interfaces are at not all new (nor are implants). See below, if interested, for my chapter-length take on neurotech, Neuralink and questions about 'automated empathy'. academic.oup.com/book/55102/…
Early start for the Lab's emotion/false information expert @vianbakir1 who is a guest for the @Ri_Science #XmasLectures being recorded today and given by @wooldridgemike. Enjoy the day Vian! @BangorUni @responsibleaiuk rigb.org/christmas-lectures
