Individuals express their thoughts individually. So when expressing the same emotion, the expression on each person's face is the same. The Fraunhofer Institute in Germany is trying to create software to recognize these expressions with artificial intelligence. Fraunhofer's scientists are trying to train software with facial expressions.
Jens Garbas, of the Fraunhofer Institute, said: Such as muscle movement, laughter, anger, sadness etc. The same is true in most cultures. As a human being, I can understand the emotions as much as I can see the face. And the success rate is much higher. "
"With this technology, people can be monitored and controlled," said Jens Garbas. So it is important to be careful about the use of this technology. That is possible only when we know exactly what can and cannot be done with it. It is also important to have control over technology. '
Garbas said, ‘A common use is to communicate between machines and humans. For example, robots can be used to train autistic children about social signals and facial expressions. It is also used while driving. Understanding the driver's mental state, whether he is under too much pressure, whether he is distracted by anything, can be understood. '
IT expert and journalist Marcus Beckdale said, "Then we will be more careful in expressing our views. As a result, I will not be able to express myself freely. It will always feel like someone is watching us. So smile. Otherwise this image may be used against you in the future. Such a situation has already begun to emerge in China. I hope this never happens in Germany. "
Incidentally, facial recognition technology is being widely used in China. The purpose is to control people.
