Emotion-tracking AI on the job: Workers fear being watched – and misunderstood (theconversation.com)

Emotion artificial intelligence uses biological signals such as vocal tone, facial expressions and data from wearable devices as well as text and how people use their computers, to detect and predict how someone is feeling. It can be used in the workplace, for hiring, etc. Loss of privacy is just the beginning. Workers are worried about biased AI and the need to perform the ‘right’ expressions and body language for the algorithms.

I'm glad to live in a place where that kind of surveillance is already illegal. I recently read that in some places, it's already commonplace to track every single keystroke and mouse click on workers' PCs. That's bad enough even without putting AI and facial recognition into the mix. Truly dystopian.
