AI systems are reading your face right now—in stores, schools, workplaces, and airports. But can they really detect your emotions? And should they?
Episode 2 of our AI & The Future of Identity series explores emotion recognition AI and biometric surveillance. We examine how these systems work, where they’re deployed, and why experts are sounding alarms about accuracy, bias, and privacy.
WHAT WE COVER:
• How emotion recognition AI analyzes facial expressions, vocal tone, and body language to predict emotional states
• Why the science is controversial—research shows emotional expressions aren’t universal across cultures
• Real-world applications: Walmart checkout cameras, Amazon warehouse monitoring, HireVue job interviews, online exam proctoring
• Discrimination risks for neurodivergent individuals, different cultures, and marginalized communities
• Workplace surveillance and the erosion of employee privacy
• Law enforcement use and the dangers of automated guilt detection
• Beneficial applications in mental health screening and accessibility technology
• Current regulations: EU AI Act, US city bans, and the gaps that remain
• What you can do to protect your emotional data and demand transparency
FEATURED INSIGHTS FROM: • Satya Nadella (Microsoft CEO) on responsible AI development • Meredith Whittaker (Signal President) on algorithmic bias • Shoshana Zuboff (Harvard Business School) on surveillance capitalism • Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett’s groundbreaking emotion research

Show Notes: AI Innovations Unleashed – AI in 5
Episode Title: AI Takes Gold: Bots Ace Math & Befriend Teens – What’s Next for Intelligent Machines? ( July 29, 2025 )
Host: Dr. JR
Release Date: July 29, 2025
Welcome to AI in 5, your quick dose of the latest in Artificial Intelligence! This week, Dr. JR unpacks two major AI developments: algorithms acing math competitions and the surprising rise of AI companions among teenagers. We also hit on big news from OpenAI & Oracle and the ongoing push for ethical AI.
Featured Stories:
- AI Gold Medalists at the Math Olympiad: We discuss how OpenAI and Google DeepMind’s AI models achieved gold medal-level performance at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). This showcases AI’s leaps in complex reasoning and abstract problem-solving, making us wonder if AI tutors are the future! (TechPowerUp, 2025; The Neuron, 2025). As AI researcher Melanie Mitchell highlights, true intelligence is about the “integration between abilities.” (Mitchell, as cited in Goodreads).
- Teens & AI Companions: A new Common Sense Media study reveals over 70% of U.S. teens use AI companions, with 31% finding these interactions as satisfying or more satisfying than talking to real friends. We explore the implications of this trend on adolescent emotional development and human connection. (Associated Press, 2025).
Quick Hitters:
- OpenAI & Oracle’s “Stargate” Project: Get the scoop on the massive partnership to build 4.5 gigawatts of new data center capacity, fueling the next generation of AI. (Mobile World Live, 2025; OpenAI, 2025).
- AI’s Ethical Crossroads: A quick look at ongoing efforts to combat AI bias and “hallucinations” to ensure responsible and reliable AI development. (DataScienceCentral.com, 2025; IBM, 2025).
