Emotional Artificial intelligence impact on facial expression- A phenomenon

Abstract

Facial expression plays a vital role in any communication, most of our communications are non-verbal and carries a variety of emotions. Recognition of emotions by machines is quite challenging and researchers are working to implant this emotional intelligence i.e. making the machines capable of reading, imitating, interpreting, and responding to human facial expressions and emotions. This area of Emotional Artificial Intelligence (E-AI) is also known as Affective computing [1], which relates to the field of computer based Facial Expression Recognition (FER). Here, computers are used for the detection and recognition of face in any image or video, which is further processed for the extraction of facial expression, which is further categorised into various categories of prototypic facial expressions like fear, happy, sad etc. In the era of robotics and computer vision, several companies and organizations are working towards the area of Emotional Artificial intelligence, to drive their business outcomes Viz.
