Emotion detector

The informant said that he took part in installing software with artificial intelligence, whose task is to recognize emotions.The man showed journalists photos of five Uighurs, where the emotional recognition tests were carried out at the Police States.- The Chinese government uses Utgur as objects of experiments, just like rats in laboratories.We placed an emotion detector three meters from the examined.The device is similar to the lie detector, but its technology is much more advanced - explains the guide.

The software works in such a way that it detects and analyzes changes in the expression of the face every few minutes, examining skin pores.The software creates a circular chart in which the red segment represents a negative or restless state of mind.The system is to be intended for "initial assessment" of emotions.

The BBC applied to the China Embassy in London with a request for comment.Diplomats did not confirm media reports, while stipulating that human rights in the country are respected.

Shocking human rights violation

Human rights activists are of a different opinion, of course.Camera recordings were shown Sophie Richardson from Human Rights Watch in China, who said that the shared material was shocking.- It's not just that people are reduced to a circular chart.Utgurów are under great pressure, it is normal that they are nervous.If the emotion detection system is to assess the guilt for the crime committed, this is a deeply problematic idea - says Richardson.

And he adds: "Thanks to artificial intelligence, we have nowhere to hide".(BS)
