With the development of technology, it has become evident that comprehension of both the cognitive and affective channels of human connection is crucial. Emotion recognition is a branch of affective computing that seeks to do this. Understanding someone’s feelings requires being able to recognise, sort through, and interpret verbal and nonverbal cues. With the upcoming mainstream adoption of emotional AI, tech giants and startups across a variety of industries—including automotive, retail, edtech—have invested in making their technology more human using computer vision and speech recognition. Moreover, Gartner predicts that 10% of individual gadgets will have emotional AI capabilities in two years.
