Project

Emotional AI in Cities: Cross Cultural Lessons from UK and Japan on Designing for An Ethical Life

–

Funded by Economic and Social Research Council.

Collaboration with Bangor University, Chuo University, Meiji University, Ritsumeikan University and University of Edinburgh.

Emotional Artificial Intelligence (AI) allows machines to sense, learn and interact with people’s emotions, moods and intentions, using data from our body movements, voices, facial expressions and even body temperature. With a rise in smart devices and smart cities, these technologies could have strong ethical implications. This project will explore what it means to live well and ethically alongside emotional AI in smart cities, in the context of commercial, civic or security settings such as policing. Jointly funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in the UK and the Japan Science and Technology Agency in Japan, this project involves academics from universities such as Stirling, Bangor, Edinburgh, Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific, Chuo and Meiji University.
