Silent Signals: How AI Can Read Between The Lines In Your Voice

Silent Signals: How AI Can Read Between The Lines In Your Voice | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it
From www.forbes.com - July 3, 11:00 AM

"Voice technologies are no longer just about recognizing what we say; they are beginning to understand how we say it. As artificial intelligence (AI) advances, it can detect subtle emotional signals in our speech, promising more human-like interactions with machines. Emotional AI is reshaping how voice data is used across industries."

EDTECH@UTRGV's curator insight, July 4, 11:03 AM

"Paralinguistic voice analysis focuses on non-verbal elements of speech like tone, pitch, volume, pauses and rhythm that convey emotion, intention or attitude. While traditional voice recognition focused on transcribing spoken words, emotional AI adds a new layer: interpreting how those words are delivered. Today’s AI systems use deep learning to identify these paralinguistic features in real time."

Beware Artificial Teaching Assistants Bearing Gifts

Beware Artificial Teaching Assistants Bearing Gifts | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it
From edu-ai.org - June 20, 1:00 PM

"What are the assumptions about learning embodied in the algorithms? When I was a junior in high school, my English teacher asked our class to read Hamlet and to write an essay on the line, 'There’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow.' Not surprisingly, given that he was the school’s minister, he believed this line was the “most significant” in the play. Unfortunately, its significance—how, in my teacher’s words, it was “central to making sense of the play”—was lost on me. I wrote a wretched essay, most of which made no sense to me or him."
