Harnessing Artificial Emotional Intelligence for Improved Human-Computer Interactions

Industry 5.0 is poised to redefine the collaboration between humans and machines, marking a crucial moment in technological evolution. However, as we stand at the threshold of this transformative era, a critical challenge emerges the integration of emotional intelligence into the industrial landscape. Organizations grapple with the urgent need to understand, strategize, and ethically deploy artificial emotional intelligence (AEI) in Industry 5.0. This pivotal juncture calls for a comprehensive resource that explores the theoretical foundations but offers practical insights into the applications, challenges, and responsible deployment of AEI. The absence of a cohesive guide addressing the intricacies of AEI in Industry 5.0 leaves a void in academic scholarship. Organizations, researchers, and policymakers lack a singular, authoritative source to navigate the complexities of emotional intelligence integration, impacting Industry 5.0 strategies, sustainability plans, and customer services. The challenge lies in managing the delicate balance between human and machine collaboration while ensuring ethical considerations are at the forefront of AI deployment. As the demand for emotional intelligence in the industrial landscape intensifies, the need for a unifying resource becomes increasingly apparent. Harnessing Artificial Emotional Intelligence for Improved Human-Computer Interactions is an innovative book crafted by leading researchers and practitioners across disciplines that serves as the solution to the challenges posed by the AEI revolution. By offering a comprehensive exploration of emotion recognition, affective computing, and human-robot interaction, the book equips readers with the knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of AEI in Industry 5.0. With a focus on practical implementations, ethical considerations, and the real-world impact on factories, collaborative robotics, and industrial automation, this book positions itself as the go-to resource for scholars, industry professionals, and decision-makers seeking to harness the transformative power of emotional intelligence in the Fifth Industrial Revolution.
