Can AI figure out what you’re feeling at any given moment? Companies around the world are already experimenting with emotion recognition technology to better understand their customers. But can they really? Today, we invite you to play with us: ig.ft.com/emotion-recogn… via @FT
In this interactive feature we have tested the emotion recognition technology by walking you through its applications: From the innocuous to the sinister. And from what we’ve seen, it is pretty problematic.
If you'd like to know why, and see how accurately the model can read out your own emotions - try it yourself here: ig.ft.com/emotion-recogn… (you can rest assured we are not collecting any of the image/emotion data)
But we're only scratching the surface here. For a deep dive into the technology, head this way: ft.com/content/c0b03d… @madhumita29 has written more about how flawed and invasive it can be.
