What happened? Do you ever get home from a long day at work and just want to relax? Well, soon your smart speaker may be able to do that for you. Researchers from Queen May University of London have developed a neural network that can interpret human emotions by scanning them with radio waves. The network is 71% accurate, which means it could soon be used to automatically adjust settings on devices like smart speakers and thermostats based on how you’re feeling.
Why is this important? This technology could have a big impact on our daily lives. Imagine coming home from a long day at work and having your smart speaker automatically start playing soothing music because it knows you’re feeling stressed. Or what if your thermostat could adjust the temperature based on whether you’re feeling hot or cold? This kind of technology could make our lives more comfortable and convenient.
\AI may be able to recognize your emotions during conversations, and engaging with AI technology might be more comfortable because the algorithm adjusts the tone of voice based on the emotions you experience. Of course, there are disadvantages to this technology, such as the fact that it can be used to influence/manipulate people in a variety of ways without their knowledge. But it is up to us how we use this technology!
What do you think? Would you use a smart speaker that automatically adjusts settings based on your emotions? Let us know in the comments!

Embracing the advancements of technology and AI can enhance our humanity. We can focus on developing our unique talents and skills by automating mundane tasks and freeing up our time. As humans, we can adapt and learn, allowing us to evolve and stay relevant in a rapidly changing world constantly.
Organizations will need to be more fluid, dynamic, and adaptable: the ability to change and adjust in response to new situations and environments. We are on the cusp of a new era of organizations, ones that are more fluid and agile and which behave like swarms we see in nature.
In the future, 3D printing and generative design will allow for products to be designed in a more decentralized manner, and production will take place closer to the customer and fully on-demand. 3D printing technology will also allow for more customization and personalization of products.
The agricultural industry is ripe for disruption. Robotics, AI, and IoT are all technologies that have the potential to radically transform the way we grow food. In combination with vertical farming, these technologies could increase the efficiency and quality of agricultural products.
A human-centered society is one that puts people first and where technology is used to unite and empower people. It is a society that values biological life and dignity above all else. It is a society that recognizes the importance of human relationships and works to strengthen them. In a human-centered society, all members of the community are valued and treated with respect.
The future of healthcare is here. New technologies like AI, IoT, big data, and smart sensors make it possible to become the CEO of your own health. Imagine that your phone can listen to your voice and AI algorithms can detect small nuances in the tone of your voice that indicate specific diseases.Â
