Sophie Kleber- Harvard Business Review

AI will soon recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human emotions. Users whose emotions are analyzed will have concerns about privacy invasion and manipulation.

As companies contemplate the integration of emotional AI, leaders must take the helm in considering a range of questions. From whether the value proposition lends itself to involving emotions to whether customers have permitted the analysis of their feelings to the potential dangers if the system fails, leaders play a pivotal role in shaping the future of emotional AI.

 Keeping those concerns in mind, leaders should be aware of the three categories of current applications for emotional AI:
• Systems that use emotional analysis to adjust their response.
• Systems that provide a targeted emotional analysis for learning purposes
• Systems that mimic and ultimately replace human-to-human interactions.

Companies that effectively navigate these challenges will shift from data-driven IQ-heavy interactions to profound EQ-guided experiences and open up new avenues for brands to connect with customers on more profound, personal levels. This potential for deeper customer connections should inspire and motivate leaders in their journey with emotional AI.
