The U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office warned it will investigate organizations using emotion analysis technologies irresponsibly, urging risk assessments before systems are implemented. The ICO said emotion analysis technologies collect, store and process data that is “far more risky than traditional biometric technologies” and bring a risk of systemic bias, inaccuracy and discrimination. “Developments in the biometrics and emotion AI market are immature. They may not work yet, or indeed ever. While there are opportunities present, the risks are currently greater,” Deputy Commissioner Stephen Bonner, CIPP/E, CIPM, said.
