Emotion AI: How to Create Digital Content with Real Human Emotions

The science behind emotion AI: How AI understands emotions

AI reads human feelings from clues such as facial expressions, vocal tone, and subtle body signals. Behind the scenes, deep-learning models learn from numerous real-world examples to recognize emotions in images, audio, and text. These systems now often match or even beat people at recognizing emotion in speech and at analyzing text sentiment. Emotional AI works best with lots of real-world examples or in live settings like customer feedback and social listening, where understanding how people feel really matters.
