Maybe this title is strange for you because it has only been talked about in fictional movies and it has not been very tangible for the public. In today’s world where there are devices and programs, including digital voice assistants and smart home appliances, and they are getting smarter day by day; It doesn’t seem too far-fetched to imagine computers being all brains and no hearts.
A researcher who works on this artificial intelligence said about this issue: “The purpose of my research is to use artificial intelligence to improve human life. Humans, human behavior and human emotions are the purpose of everything I do.”
This person, who is an expert in the interdisciplinary field of emotional computing, believes that the use of machine learning and other computer science methods to program artificial intelligence programs to incorporate and better understand human behavior and emotions is essential.
In today’s digital world, if you ask a question to your smart device that is capable of answering (eg Siri) it will give you an answer regardless of your emotions or behavior. But humans don’t just communicate using words: tone of voice, context, posture, and gestures all play an important role in human communication. For example, when a friend asks you, “What happened?” It only pays attention to your answer and cannot quickly recognize your behavior that you have told the truth or remained silent due to a problem.
This new artificial intelligence uses the programming of devices to combine the understanding of non-verbal signs and communication and can pay attention to the microbehavioral points of the other party and recognize them faster than humans.
Currently, researchers are engaged in further research on a multi-sensory approach for this “emotional” artificial intelligence, which includes observing and analyzing facial expressions, body language, involuntary and unconscious movements and gestures, eye movements, speech patterns, tones and various parameters. It is linguistic and cultural. Training artificial intelligence on these types of inputs not only improves communication, but also equips artificial intelligence to respond more appropriately and even in emotional cases to humans.
Many countries in the world are facing a shortage of mental health professionals. Mental health can be difficult to access and appointments can be difficult or fit into a person’s busy schedule. This brilliant researcher sees emotional intelligence artificial intelligence programs as tools that may be able to fill this void, and he is working with medical schools and hospitals to make this idea a reality. AI-based treatment programs can help assess a person’s mental and emotional health and guide them to the right resources, as well as suggest initial strategies for help. For some people, especially those who are nervous or have social anxiety, talking to an AI may be as simple as talking to a human.
