AI versus Marshy - Emotional Detection in AI

Welcome to this standalone article about emotional detection in AI. I’m Marshy, and I’m excited to dive into this topic with you. If you’re new to AI versus Marshy, don’t worry - this article will still make sense, but if you’ve been following along, you might appreciate some of the references and context that I’ll be drawing from. Let’s get started! “Emotional detection via computer vision is a deeply fraught area in AI. We should not be incorporating it into the way we see ourselves or others (and definitely not into AI workflows)” Oh dear. I’ve been nerding out on Hume, and I love some of the thinking about linking education to emotional engagement, and I think there’s potential for this and ADHD and knowledge workers.
