Google has announced a new artificial intelligence model, PaliGemma 2, which can recognise emotions in images.
Here's What We Know
This model analyses photos and creates detailed descriptions including actions, emotions and the overall context of the scene. However, experts are concerned about the possible implications of using such technology. They believe that recognising emotions is challenging because people express their feelings differently depending on cultural and personal context.
Some studies show that emotion recognition systems can be unreliable and biased. Google claims to have conducted extensive tests to assess demographic bias in PaliGemma 2 and found low levels of toxicity and profanity compared to industry standards.
However, the company did not disclose the full list of benchmarks used or the types of tests performed. Experts warn that the use of such technologies could lead to discrimination and other negative consequences.
