By integrating sensors, software, and algorithms, these systems can respond to user emotions in a way that appears emotionally intelligent. While the current aim of affective computing is to improve human-computer interaction by making devices more responsive to the emotional states of their users, there&#039;s potential for such systems to be used manipulatively, altering content or responses to exploit users&#039; emotional states for profit or other motives.<br /> <br /> Topics of conversation might include: As technology becomes more emotionally responsive, how can we strike a balance to prevent over-dependence on machines for emotional validation or support? In what ways might affective computing be used for emotional manipulation, and how can we prevent such misuse? How can we make users aware of when and how their emotional state is being monitored, and what rights do they have concerning the use and storage of this data? 03:00 pm 04:00 pm America/Los_Angeles public

Though a controversial metric for artificial general intelligence, a prize has been offered every year since 1990 for any system that can fool a significant number of judges into believing that a human is on the other side of chat-based conversation. How does the Turing Test hold up at a time when AI has entered into new areas of creative human activity?<br /> <br /> Topics of conversation might include: Is the ability to parrot human behavior or use of language a true test of machine intelligence? Is the Turing Test more or less relevant with the emergence of machine learning, large language models, and text-to-image generators? What are other limitations of the Turing Test as a true measure of intelligence? What are better alternatives? 03:00 pm 04:00 pm America/Los_Angeles public
