Episode 20, April 18, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emotions are fundamental to human interaction, but in a world where humans are increasingly interacting with AI systems, Dr. Mary Czerwinski<\/a>, Principal Researcher and Research Manager of the Visualization and Interaction for Business and Entertainment<\/a> group at Microsoft Research, believes emotions may be fundamental to our interactions with machines as well. And through her team\u2019s work in affective computing, the quest to bring Artificial Emotional Intelligence \u2013 or AEI \u2013 to our computers may be closer than we think.<\/p>\n

Today, Dr. Czerwinski tells us how a cognitive psychologist found her way into the research division of the world\u2019s largest software company, suggests that rather than trying to be productive 24\/7, we should aim for Emotional Homeostasis<\/a> instead, and tells us how, if we do it right, our machines could become a sort of \u201cemotional at-work DJ,\u201d sensing and responding to our emotional states, and helping us to become happier and more productive at the same time.<\/p>\n
