Emotional Artificial Intelligence: A New Frontier for Human-Computer Collaboration

Artificial intelligence is moving towards emotional intelligence and can adapt to human personality and social cues in real time. Research from the University of Southern California shows that artificial intelligence virtual images can reflect traits such as extroversion, thereby better participating in mental health or negotiation. The University of Cambridge’s EvoEmo system uses evolutionary learning to optimize the emotional tone — whether reconciled or confident — has a 20% increase in negotiation success rate compared to static models. While it enhances cooperation, it also raises ethical concerns about manipulation. As AI evolves from logic to emotional partnerships, leaders must now prioritize empathy and resilience.
