Trends in technology are constantly evolving, and so too are the ways humans interact with it. As people become more reliant on AI and automation, it's important to consider the emotional side of the equation. One way to achieve this is through emotion AI, which is concerned with making machines that can understand and respond to human emotions and make technological devices and systems more human-centric.
