In this episode, we chat about coming back from summer break, and discuss a research paper recently published by Kerry and the AI ethicist and researcher Os Keyes called "The Infopolitics of Feeling: How race and disability are configured in Emotion Recognition Technology". We discuss why AI tools that promise to be able to read our emotions from our faces are scientifically and politically suspect. We then explore the ableist foundations of what used to be the most famous Emotion AI firm in the world: Affectiva. Kerry also explains how the Stop Asian Hate and Black Lives Matters protests of 2020 inspired this research project, and why she thinks that emotion recognition technologies have no place in our societies.

Ritu is a 2x tech entrepreneur…Formerly the Founder & CEO of a digital healthcare start-up called Obino, a fitness junkie, and a person, who like most of us, loves junk food, especially Pringles! Ritu has chased corporate dreams, branched off, and decided to bloom & grow in the start-up world. She successfully exited her first start-up and is now driving her 2nd dream, an Emotion Ai initiative called TheLightbulb.ai…all this along with being a fitness junkie and a food freak like many of us. I got to know Ritu during my days with a leading Telecom operator in India where she was a colleague. Ritu started her career in IT Sales, switched to being a Radio Jockey & then moved on to a Telco Product role, after which she decided to start up in healthcare - with a digital weight-loss coaching app she called ObiNo (Say No to Obesity). She successfully exited that venture to US-based investors and has now started her new venture called TheLightbulb.AI – a unique full-stack Emotion Ai platform that uses visual & conversational ai to gauge user emotion & engagement in real-time for any digital interaction. Ritu is active on social media, especially in sharing her fitness journey, an online fitness journal so to speak. She also gives back to the startup ecosystem and extensively features in startup workshops and talks. On her path to fitness, she has found balance & joy! She indulges regularly and then sweats it out to earn that indulgence. There are no free lunches, my friends, and that's what I learned with a laugh and cheer with Ritu in this episode. Meet her in this podcast to learn how to love to live and live to love a life of health and joy!

Empathy and emotions are at the center of how we connect and communicate as humans—in fact, 93 percent of how we communicate is accomplished through non-verbal means. Emotion AI (a subset of AI that measures, understands, simulates and reacts to human emotions) pioneer Rana el Kaliouby is on a mission to bring more emotional intelligence to the digital world. In this episode, Kevin talks with Rana about her upbringing and how she got into tech, her experience and challenges co-founding Affectiva and as Deputy CEO of Smart Eye, and the importance of infusing IQ and EQ into technology.   Rana el Kaliouby | Smart Eye   Kevin Scott   Behind the Tech with Kevin Scott   Discover and listen to other Microsoft podcasts.   

Uniphore, a privately held startup company, recently achieved the coveted status of a "unicorn" by raising $400 million, giving it a valuation of $2.5 billion. The company, which made its name in conversational AI, is revolutionizing the way contact center agents have conversations by harnessing the power of machine learning. Imagine this scenario: A customer calls to request internet installation at their new apartment. With the help of Uniphore's AI technology, the agent can automatically scan the system to find out what modem the customer currently has, what technology is already installed at the new property, and when an installation technician is available. This means the call is resolved quickly and efficiently without needing multiple back-and-forth exchanges. The AI can also automatically log follow-up actions, freeing up the agent to move on to the next call. But Uniphore's innovation continues beyond there. The company has expanded its business into "emotion AI" - a subset of AI that can gauge human emotions during sales calls. This allows for feedback to be provided to sellers and pitchers, highlighting the most engaging parts of the pitch and points of concern that need to be addressed to close the deal. Umesh Sachdev, CEO & Co-Founder of Uniphore, is the mastermind behind this revolutionary technology. In this podcast episode, he shares the story behind the company and its exciting journey into the world of AI.

Would you watch the news online or via a mobile app if it were presented by something that looks human, but is in fact an artificially intelligent virtual human? Today's episode features Leon Hawthorne. Leon is a media executive, journalist and academic; a former CEO of two satellite TV channels, three cable stations, a TV production company and a dozen web channels. He created web TV channels for Boot's, Borders and Waterstones, and advised the CEOs of Hearst Magazines, the Independent and London Evening Standard on digital content strategies.In his journalistic career, he was a World News Anchor for both CNN International and CNBC Europe. For BBC News, he was a member of the parliamentary lobby, attending daily briefings at 10 Downing Street, reporting politics and producing current affairs documentaries for BBC One and BBC Radio 4. Leon is presently on an academic sabbatical, researching for a PhD at City, University of London, while lecturing in Media and Corporate Communication.In our conversation, we discussed his PhD Research:  ‘Talking Heads: The use of virtual human presenters in the delivery of personalised news content'. The experiment itself uses AI to detect how participants really feel about the images they see, instead of relying wholly on answers participants give on a questionnaire. After being granted permission, the cloud-based software accesses the participant's webcam to analyse their microexpressions, as they watch the videos. Microexpressions are small, rapid movements of the facial muscles that psychologists believe betray subconscious emotional reactions. The technology for the experiment was developed by Affectiva Inc., the pioneer of Emotion AI.  The research is interested particularly in seeing how opinions vary, depending on the age and sex of participants, and also on how much they use smartphones and other new technologies. Anyone aged over 18, who has access to a computer with a webcam, can take part in the 10-minute online experiment.Links of interest:AITalkingHeads.com - http://www.aitalkingheads.comLeonHawthorne.com Affectiva Emotion AIFull link to participate in online experiment - https://cityunilondon.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a3glSZjvos49rw2
