Intel has developed an artificial intelligence program to analyze the faces and body language of schoolchildren and students studying online and determine their emotional state. Writes about it Tom’s Hardware.
Engineers developed the feature with Classroom Technologies and integrated it with the Zoom app. The software uses video streams from lessons that are passed to the algorithm along with contextual information in real time.
Intel researcher Sinem Aslan said that the main goal of the project is to improve individual lessons, allowing the teacher to quickly respond to the state of mind of each student and direct the educational process in the right direction.
Many experts have expressed concern about the use of such technologies in education. According to them, modern algorithms are not able to catch the smallest facial expressions that signal a change in mental state. They added that different cultures show emotions in different ways.
Intel noted that the model was built taking into account the knowledge and experience of a group of psychologists who analyzed videos from real lessons recorded using laptops with 3D cameras. The experts then examined the data and flagged the emotions they found to form a training dataset for the algorithm.
Recall that in April 2021, researchers presented a game to show the risks of emotion recognition by artificial intelligence.
That same month, the face-detection algorithms of a program to monitor students during exams were accused of being biased towards black students.
In August, a group of international scientists found that artificial intelligence is not able to recognize people’s emotions.
