Affective Artificial Intelligence
Description
Bridge the final frontier between logic and empathy with this definitive guide to building AI systems that do not just process data, but truly comprehend, interpret, and anticipate human emotion.
As the role of AI continues to grow in our everyday lives, there is an increasing need to address the fundamental connections between AI and humans. Innovators across a range of industries are exploring the principles, technological foundations, and practical applications of AI systems that can comprehend, interpret, and respond to human emotions. This book is an essential guide to one of the most transformative frontiers of AI, where machines utilize human emotion in communicative contexts to bridge the chasm between people and technology. It explores the cutting-edge field of AI systems that go beyond traditional AI, which operates on logic and predefined algorithms, to systems that are attuned to human emotions, interactions, and psychological states. The volume highlights the significance of human-like emotional intelligence in AI and its potential to create more natural, empathetic, and intuitive human-AI interactions by delving into the technological underpinnings of affective AI, including emotion recognition techniques such as facial expression analysis, speech emotion recognition, and physiological signal processing and discusses how these systems capture and interpret emotional cues from users, allowing AI to not only react to stimuli but anticipate human needs, feelings, and intentions. Through expert insights and real-world case studies, readers gain an in-depth understanding of how affective AI is poised to redefine the relationship between humans and machines.
Readers will find the volume:
- Introduces the emergence of affective artificial intelligence;
- Discusses different applications of affective artificial intelligence in various industries;
- Presents state-of-the-art transfer learning analysis techniques.
Audience
AI and Machine Learning researchers, academics, and engineers working towards AI-driven emotion recognition, sentiment analysis, and affective computing applications.
