Hi All Artificial Emotional Intelligence has been on my mind for the past months. Recently, Daniel Sant'Anna Pereira shared with me a disturbing article about the use of this kind of technology to monitor employees using emotional AI. The article can be accessed here: https://theconversation.com/emotion-tracking-ai-on-the-job-workers-fear-being-watched-and-misunderstood-222592 Again, as most of the things, there is always two sides. The study shows some workers see benefits like increased well-being support and workplace safety. However, they also have major concerns. 😟 51% worry about privacy. 36% fear incorrect inferences by employers. 33% are concerned about unfair employment decisions. The truth is that these systems can create privacy issues and make employees feel constantly watched. 👁️ This reminds me of the LSI article that I wrote with André Barcaui, regarding The Impact of Emotional AI on Corporate Culture. You can read it here: https://ricardo-vargas.com/articles/beyond-algorithms-the-impact-of-emotional-ai-on-corporate-culture/. Please share your views, opportunities and concerns in the comments section. I hope you find it insightful. Ricardo #EmployeeSurveillance #AI #PrivacyConcerns #WorkplaceWellbeing #TechEthics
