Open Empathic aims to equip open-source AI systems with empathy and emotional intelligence. We hope that methods and tools developed within the framework of this project, together with a community of researchers and technology enthusiasts, will revolutionize the way AI interacts with and supports humans in various domains.
Sure, if they can build a data set of well tagged emotional content they’ll be able to train their machine to detect and distinguish the emotion in subsequent human samples, but that is not the same thing as a feeling machine.
It’s always a little awkward when you take human concepts that have existed longer than mathematics, and try to define them mathematically.
I would like to have a good working definition of “empathy” and “feeling” in this context. I didn’t find one on their web site.
is this truly open?
Yup, Laion’s projects are open source and they give away their models.
good to know, I had a quick glance at their github but couldn’t find this model. I guess it hasn’t been realized yet.
