Emotion, AI and Human Values by Prof. Rosalind Picard, MIT Media Lab


Linacre College is delighted to invite you to this year's Tanner Lecture, which will be held at the University Museum of Natural History on Thursday 9th June at 17:00. The lecture, entitled "Emotion, AI and Human Values", is part of The Obert C. Tanner Lectures on Artificial Intelligence and Human Values, and will be delivered by professor and director of Affective Computing Research at the MIT Media Lab Rosalind Picard.

Computers, robots, and wearable technologies are increasingly designed with the abilities to sense, recognize, and respond intelligently to human emotion. In some cases, robots are created in the image of their maker, and appear to have emotions. Are emotions the last thing that separates machines from being human? What are ways that “Emotion AI” can be used for good, and are there cases where we want to see its use banned? This talk will demonstrate some of the latest advances in affective technologies, suggesting values to consider for its use in improving human lives.
