ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE EDUCATION: EMOTIONAL COMPUTATION

Following decades of research into artificial intelligence, several researchers are now attempting to build emotionally intelligent machines. The capacity of a computer to "think or behave humanly or rationally" is the traditional concept of artificial intelligence (Russell, 1995). The drive for emotionally intelligent machines is an exciting development in this area, moving us closer to machines that genuinely "act human." I will include a survey of topics and tools for teaching emotional computation in artificial intelligence courses in this post. This subject field, I will demonstrate, is an excellent application of modern artificial intelligence techniques and a significant aspect of current AI research. The interdisciplinary nature of work in this space is convincing not only in the classroom, but it can also contribute to increased interest in the field of Computer Science.
