Technology reveals fear and other emotions

[Still Waters]

The fear levels of an audience have been measured to show how machines are beginning to reveal people's deepest feelings.

The demonstration was part of a talk given by Dolby Labs chief scientist Poppy Crum at the TED conference in Vancouver.

The ability to hide emotions is becoming "a thing of the past", she said.

The professor believes this could usher in an era of empathetic technology.

I reckon your phone or laptop telling you it's not letting you talk to people when you're in that kinda mood, or state, could be a good thing.

When we reach that level of AI, I think I'll fear my phone

Ooh, they should give it the voice of HAL.

I am sorry Dave, but I don't think you should be talking to anyone right now. I am sensing high levels of stress in your speech patterns. Why don't you go take a chill pill and relax for a while.

I'm all for it, as long as it dispenses the pill as well.
