Emotional AI: Comparative Considerations for UK and Japan across Commercial, Political and Security Sectors

连续运动人工智能包括情感计算和感知人类情感生活的人工智能技术。机器使用弱人工智能而不是强人工智能，通过文本、图像、语音、计算机视觉和生物识别传感来读取情感并对其做出反应。情感人工智能是一种出现在不同设备和生活背景中的新兴现象。例如：城市感知，如分析人脸情绪反应的广告；社交媒体上的情绪分析(用于警务、政治竞选、营销)；跟踪员工情绪的可穿戴设备；以及人机交互(如家务助理)。领先的科技分析师高德纳预测，到2022年，个人设备将比家人更了解一个人的情绪状态。情绪人工智能提出了重要的社会问题，特别是。关于在线感受、身体情感、生理表情、注意力和意图的数据应该如何使用。危害包括：侵犯隐私，未经授权使用关于情绪的数据，私人思想的可见性，隐藏的影响，缺乏选择不监控情绪行为的范围，以及对情绪身份自我概念的影响。AIMS/OBJECTIVEST将在40个英国和日本学者、行业、非政府组织和监管机构的跨学科论坛上聚集在一起，以更好地了解情感人工智能日益核心的世界的构成以及商业/公民/安全影响。通过这个网络，我们将确定迫切的跨文化研究项目，涉及对文化、政策、伦理、技术趋势和行业背景敏感的情感人工智能。我们将在日本(2x2天)和伦敦(1x1天)举办研讨会。每个研讨会都涉及跨学科的学者、非政府组织、政策制定者、工业和技术专家(来自日本/英国的15-20名高价值人士/研讨会)：-日本研讨会1(情感人工智能-商业和公民生活)将专注于情感人工智能的出现，及其商业和公民层面。-日本研讨会2(情绪化人工智能-安全与公民生活)将研究情绪化(以及更广泛的)人工智能在安全、预测性治安和监控中的作用。-英国研讨会3(情绪化人工智能与跨文化考虑)将向英国学者/利益相关者(包括。从我们在日本的互动中学到了什么，提供了关于情感人工智能及其在商业、公民和安全问题上的应用的见解和跨文化考虑。研讨会将在英国领先的先进数字技术采用机构Digital Catapult举行。通过3个研讨会，我们将会见日本/英国的利益相关者，他们可以通过赠款想法被引入。在研讨会之后，我们将制定对英国资助者的赠款投标。为了实现这一目标，驻英国的首席调查员(PI)和联合调查员(Co-I)将在日本停留26天；英国的早期职业研究员(ECR)将在日本停留21天；另外两名驻英国的学者将分别在日本停留6天；总部设在日本的国际合作组织(ICO-I)将在英国逗留19天。交付内容：-3个研讨会(2个在日本，1个在英国)：日本研讨会将有同步双语翻译。-向AHRC、ESRC、EPSRC或Innovate UK With Japan ICO-IS和英国/日本最终用户提供新的赠款申请。-双语网站，以告知/吸引参与者/利益相关者。-研讨会参与者针对研讨会领导人提出的挑衅行为撰写的双语博客文章。-关于insights/recommendations.APPLICATIONS/BENEFITSWe的书面报告：-提高英国/日本利益相关者(技术行业、政策制定者、非政府组织)对理解的必要性的认识，并参与情感人工智能及其商业/公民/安全影响的跨文化(英国-日本)跨学科研究。-建立深度协作的英日情感人工智能跨学科、多终端用户网络，建设跨国家研究能力。

CONTEXTEmotional AI comprises affective computing and AI techniques to sense human emotional life. Using weak AI rather than strong AI, machines read and react to emotions via text, images, voice, computer vision and biometric sensing. Emotional AI is an emergent phenomenon appearing across diverse devices and life contexts. Examples include: city sensing such as ads that analyse faces for emotional reactions; analysis of sentiment on social media (used for policing, political campaigning, marketing); wearables that track moods of workers; and human-machine interaction (eg home assistants). A leading technology analyst, Gartner, predicts that by 2022 personal devices will know more about a person's emotional state than their family. Emotional AI raises important social questions, esp. on how data about online feeling, bodily affects, physiological expression, attention and intention should be used. Harms include: privacy violations, unauthorised uses of data about emotions, visibility of private thoughts, hidden influence, lack of scope to opt-out of monitoring of emotional behaviour, and impact on self-conception of emotional identity.AIMS/OBJECTIVESTo bring together in interdisciplinary fora 40 UK and Japanese academics, industry, NGOs and regulators to better understand the constitution, and commercial/civic/security implications, of a world where emotional AI is increasingly central. Through this network, we will identify pressing cross-cultural research projects on emotional AI, sensitive to culture, policy, ethics, technological trends and industrial context. We will hold workshops in Japan (2 x 2-day) and London (1 x 1-day). Each involves inter-disciplinary academics, NGOs, policy-makers, industry and technologists (15-20 high value people/workshop drawn from Japan/UK):- Japan Workshop 1 (Emotional AI - Commerce & Civic Life) will focus on the emergence of emotional AI, and its commercial and civic dimensions. - Japan Workshop 2 (Emotional AI - Security & Civic Life) will examine the role of emotional (and wider) AI, in security, predictive policing and surveillance.- UK Workshop 3 (Emotional AI & Cross-Cultural Considerations) will brief UK academics/stakeholders (incl. start-ups) on what has been learnt from our interactions in Japan, providing insights and cross-cultural considerations of emotional AI and its application to commercial, civic and security issues. This workshop will be held at Digital Catapult, the UK's leading agency for early adoption of advanced digital technologies. Through the 3 workshops, we will meet stakeholders in Japan/UK who can be brought in on grant ideas.Following the workshops, we will develop grant bids to UK funders. To achieve this, the UK-based Principle Investigator (PI) and Co-Investigator (Co-I) will spend 26 days in Japan; the UK-based Early Career Researcher (ECR) will spend 21 days in Japan; 2 other UK-based academics will each spend 6 days in Japan; and the Japan-based International Co-I (ICo-I) will spend 19 days in UK.Deliverables:- 3 workshops (2 in Japan, 1 in UK): Japan workshops will have simultaneous bilingual translation.- New grant applications to AHRC, ESRC, EPSRC or Innovate UK with Japan ICo-Is and UK/Japan end users.- Bilingual website to inform/attract participants/stakeholders.- Bilingual blog entries written by workshop participants to provocations posed by workshop leaders.- A written report on insights/recommendations.APPLICATIONS/BENEFITSWe will:- Raise UK/Japanese stakeholder awareness (technology industry, policy-makers, NGOs) of the need to understand, and be involved in, cross-cultural (UK-Japan) interdisciplinary research on emotional AI and its commercial/civic/security implications.- Establish a deep collaborative UK-Japan interdisciplinary, multi-end user network on emotional AI, building cross-national research capacity.
