Dear MEL Topic Readers,
This AI reads children's emotions as they learn
Will AI help us facilitate better interaction and teaching? It seems it will. There is a startup in Hong Kong that has developed an AI-assisted system to read students’ emotions, such as happiness, sadness, anger, fear, and surprise during class. The system was trained to read the facial data of the students and interprets their emotional expressions without recording their faces. It helps teachers recognize how well their students understand the class or tasks even online. In fact, it is not easy for any teacher to know how their students are feeling in the classroom where dozens of students are studying at the same time. The AI emotion reading technology might give teachers a chance for earlier intervention without waiting to see the test results, which is too late. Indeed, AI is taking human’s knowledge, experience, and intelligence as it is trained with massive data, whose volume is way beyond the capacity of any human. Since AI has been practically used only for a few years so far, it won’t be so long before many of humans’ subjective judgment and analysis is replaced by AI.
Can it be used to read the feeling of your loved ones?
Enjoy reading the article and watching the video and think how you’ll be using AI a few years from now.
