In a groundbreaking development, MIT neuroscientists have designed a computational model that can predict human emotions with remarkable accuracy. This AI model, which approximates human observers’ social intelligence, is designed to predict the emotions of people involved in a situation based on the prisoner’s dilemma, a classic game theory scenario.
Predicting Emotions
The model incorporates factors such as a person’s desires, their expectations in a particular situation, and whether anyone was watching their actions. This allows the model to predict emotions like joy, gratitude, confusion, regret, and embarrassment, mimicking the human ability to infer other people’s beliefs, desires, intentions, and emotions.
