Human Emotion in Devices and Technology
The field of Affective Computing that encompasses the nature of how human’s emotions respond to devices and technology is a seminal issue to study in regards to the ethical implications of AI/AS. Where users may not understand that robots/AI are infused with affective sensors or technology, they could be manipulated or tricked in ways unintended by well-meaning manufacturers or designers. If we are to live with robots in our near future, we must become more emotionally intelligent before trying to imbue ethical instructions for our silicon companions. In this course we will review the concept of affective computing. We will then examine its most relevant ethical issues and how to deal with them.
What you will learn:
- Summarize the scope of Affective Computing
- Describe the generic ethical issues in Affective Computing
- Apply a standard ethical framework to examples of Affective Computing
