Affective Computing: Reading Emotions in Machines

from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault

From Rosalind Picard's pioneering work to today’s emotion‑aware AI, we explore how prosody, facial cues, and biosignals enable machines to recognize and respond to human emotions. We’ll dive into real‑world applications in education, healthcare, and safety, and contrast cognitive vs. interactionist views—showing how tech can become a reflective mirror that helps us understand and regulate our own emotions.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
