Helen Keller once said, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.”
The neural networks of deep learning are inspired from the biological neurons of the human brain. It is asserted that artificial intelligence can express emotions and feelings. Some questions are raised here. Could machines be conscious if they reach complexity? Does the AI machine have the ability to predict emotions?
It is the imagination in reality for AI to accomplish this and be humanized! AI systems accept the input that human beings provide them with. They can mimic human emotion but cannot experience or “feel” them. They include a high sense of objectivity and work only based on algorithms. In contrast, humans’ emotions are deep and the AI machine may not transcend them.
Can AI love or hate?
What is special about human emotions is their physiological complexity that AI systems cannot possess. Researchers and AI specialists train the machines to understand and analyze human emotions. Being provided by a huge amount of data, AI systems can here understand if someone is happy, sad, or angry by recognizing facial expressions. Despite that, AI systems still cannot feel; in other words, they can only recognize things. Therefore, neither can AI love or hate.
How emotional is AI?
The main aim here is to achieve human-machine communication. All artificial intelligence systems, such as machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing are combined together to work as human beings. Indeed, AI chatbots establish a large amount of language models to generate responses.
To further illustrate, natural language processing tools help in recognizing speech and texts, including the emotional state. In addition, the tone and pitch in voice messages help machine learning tools to understand the state of being of a person. Deep learning and computer vision tools have the ability to know the state of a human being from facial expressions. However, they cannot be emotional. Then, how can artificial intelligent tools be smart enough to feel?
Will AI remain only simulations?
Artificial intelligence can respond according to the data it is fed with. Indeed, AI models can be combined together in order to understand human emotions. For example, the natural language processing, voice, content, face, tone, and body language when they are set together, can help in understanding human emotions.
Thus, it produces results based on the input offered by the human beings asserting that AI systems are unable to express emotions alone. It is worth mentioning that we fine tune AI algorithms according to our needs to achieve the obtained results needed.
Conclusion
In a nutshell, nothing can replace the power of human beings, even AI systems. Artificial intelligence systems do not have human intuition and are unable to express emotions. The psychological and physiological emotional aspects that human beings owe cannot be replicated in a machine. Then, what does the future await for AI and emotions?
