Im going to save you some time here: they most certainly did not.

Such a thing isnt currently possible.

But you dont have to take my word for it.

Why ‘facial expression recognition’ AI is a total scam

you might arrive at the same conclusion using your own critical thinking abilities.

Up front:The research is fundamentally flawed because it conflates facial expression with human emotion.

40% off TNW Conference!

But, just for fun, lets keep going.

Background:Dont let the hype fool you.

The researchers dont train the AI to recognize expressions.

They train the AI to beat a benchmark.

What this means is the researchers built a machine that tries toguesslabels.

and no option to say I dont know.

Thats why AI devs might run hundreds of thousands or even millions of training iterations to train their AI.

The point is that AI doesnt understand these concepts.

But Googles search algorithms do.

But AI cant determine whether a label is actually appropriate.

A five-year-old human would tell you that youve mislabeled the circle.

Neural take:This is a total scam.

What youcan dois perform prestidigitation with a prediction algorithm in hopes of exploiting human ignorance.
