I think that the holidays feel like frozen noses. I love walking with the dog for long periods of time.

Hopefully it's snowing and you've got to wrap up warm. So I think a frozen nose is a sweaty armpit

because your wrapped up so warm but then you're climbing hamps and heath and you get to the top

and you're like, and then you can see the breath but then your nose is still freezing to touch.

When I got reporter Kate Kay on Zoom, I asked her to engage in a little thought experiment with me.

Okay. You're looking at me via Zoom right now. Right. Admittedly you are a human, you are not a computer.

But like, what do you see? How do I seem? Is this a question about what emotion you might be expressing on your face?

Yeah. Right now. I mean, who knows. I think that's I don't know. Honestly, I wouldn't know.

I was asking Kate to try to figure out my emotional state based on my face.

That's because she's written a series of articles for protocol about artificial intelligence,

supposedly learning to do just that. Take our expressions and micro expressions, capture them by a computer vision and then.

Put it through a AI process that spits out some sort of score regarding whether or not someone's engaged with what's being said in a meeting,

in a virtual meeting or in a virtual classroom scenario.

That's right. Companies are developing and selling AI products intended to tell your boss or your teacher how you're feeling.

We're seeing more examples of this stuff that's really been kind of just in the research level over the past few years.

It's not necessarily talked about a lot in relation to like something you can buy, right, a product.

And now it's starting to be productized.

But what's unclear is how well or whether it really works today on the show can AI really know what you're feeling.

I'm Lizzie O'Leary and you're listening to what next TBD, a show about technology, power and how the future will be determined. Stick with us.

What the hell? You're kidding me! I'm a real idiot! But look at this thing! You're kidding me!
