Could Artificial Intelligence Have Emotions Like Us?

in Popular STEM3 years ago

"Can machines use human intelligence to perform similar tasks?" Since the 1950s, artificial intelligence research, which began with the question, have grown in prominence. Artificial intelligence technology could previously do simple and limited activities using various programs to make our lives and occupations easier, such as texting and data sharing. He can now converse with us, offer recommendations, and even detect our emotions.

Emotions: How Do We Feel Them?


In our daily lives, we can encounter a wide range of emotions. Fear, anger, sorrow, pleasure, surprise, disgust, and jealousy are the seven primary emotions, according to psychologists. People from many different societies around the world communicate comparable emotions with similar facial expressions. The following is how this happens in the brain: Internal and external inputs trigger neural networks in the brain, causing reactions including facial expression, body movements, and voice tone.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can now determine human emotions based on specific traits. Researchers from the universities of North Carolina and Maryland developed an algorithm that can predict people's moods with 80% accuracy based on the way they walk. Some AI systems rely on users' voices to comprehend their emotions. The potential of artificial intelligence to discern emotions by examining extremely subtle changes in facial expressions is the most researched topic.

As programmed, artificial intelligence detects facial expressions. However, we may not always be able to communicate our feelings in the most effective manner. We can frown while we are focused on something or when we are in pain, for example.

When we receive happy news, we can choose to cry rather than laugh. As a result, artificial intelligence may not be able to recognize emotions just based on facial expressions. Artificial intelligence systems, according to research, need to improve a little further in understanding complicated facial emotions.

To do specific tasks, artificial intelligence does not need to have human-like emotions. According to this viewpoint, artificial intelligence's emotional reactions in response to particular stimuli (for example, the picture of tears appearing on the screen when a stimulus connected to grief is displayed) will consist solely of identifying and replicating the emotion.

The goal of developmental robotics researchers is to transfer to robots people's cognitive development processes from childhood through adolescence (for example, decision making). In this sense, it's possible that robots will develop emotions similar to humans in the future. However, emotional and cognitive processes are linked. As a result, emotions primarily dependent on cognitive processes will be a long way from reality.

For the time being, robots do not appear to be capable of feeling human emotions such as anger, love, or empathy. We now know, however, that when robots are exposed to specific stimuli, they can discern appropriate emotions. Would you like to live with robot companions who would listen to your concerns and comprehend them?
