Imagine a picture like this ：

On the surface, you are staring at the computer screen, online class , All of a sudden , The computer reported you to the teacher ： This man is actually distracted ！

original , This is a Intel A facial expression analysis technology , Use it to test your feelings during online class .

However , Intel this Emotion AI After being put on the online class platform , Immediately caused a lot of controversy .

This mood test AI Used in a model called Class Of APP, be based on Zoom Development .

Class CEO of R & D company Michael Chasen Think , Teachers have some difficulties in contacting students in the online virtual classroom environment , And this product can Help teachers identify when students need help .

however , Some netizens don't buy it ：

This project is unscientific , Isn't there anyone with inconsistent facial expression and emotional state in the whole Intel company ？

Some netizens think that , Humans can recognize other people's facial expressions , This Emotion AI The principle of is a pseudoscience .

Another data analyst is adamant about this application Say No.

therefore , This kind of AI The monitoring level is better than that of the director of the education department ？ How to achieve ？

Emotions in class AI Whether it can help teaching ？

Let's take a look at the class first Emotion AI What kind of system is it .

Intel is developing this Emotion AI In the process of the system , First use the computer's own 3D camera , Recorded the students' expressions when listening to the lectures offline .

And then , Hire psychologists to watch videos of students , And categorize the emotions they detect , To mark the basic data used to train the algorithm model .

Last , Use these data to train Emotion AI Model , Used in online classes “ Observe in secret ” The state of students in class .

Intel thinks , This system can evaluate students' facial expressions and how they interact with educational content , To detect if they're bored 、 Distraction or confusion .

however , This statement remains to be studied .

One side , Previous studies have shown that , Because people use dozens or hundreds of subtle and complex facial expressions 、 Body posture or physiological signals to express themselves , Therefore, using a single label to classify their status is not suitable .

On the other hand , If you want to use Intel's Emotion AI Capture students' facial expressions , You have to turn on the camera .

In recent years, online classes and online conferences are all the rage , Whether students need to turn on the camera for class is also controversial .

Some students worry that using the camera will make their residence public , This is a violation of personal privacy .

As for communicating with teachers , It can also be done through the microphone or chat box .

Besides , This technology also has certain requirements for network speed , If students take classes outdoors, they will consume more traffic .

analysts Nandita Sampath Think , Intel's technology may be used by teachers to judge or punish students , Even if it's not their intention .

Emotion detection outside the classroom AI

in fact , at present Emotion AI It is also affecting many daily fields , Including games 、 Virtual sales , And customer service software .

for example , In medical diagnosis , Emotional tests AI Software can help doctors diagnose diseases through speech analysis , Such as judging whether the patient has depression and dementia .

There are similar examples in car safety .

before , Huawei has launched a product called Facing Emotions Of APP, Be able to use mobile phones to effectively help the blind and visually impaired .

Facing Emotions You can use the rear camera to scan people's faces , And recognize the eyes 、 nose 、 Eyebrows and mouth , And the position between them , adopt AI The algorithm judges the expression of the conversation partner in real time .

The software will 7 A human emotion （ anger , Fear , Hate , happy , sad , Surprise and contempt ） Turn it into 7 Cue tone , So that the blind and visually impaired can communicate with people more freely .
