Imagine sitting down at your desk and logging in for a performance review, with an AI system analyzing the conversation. You’ve been working long hours, balancing deadlines, and your manager asks how you’re doing. You say you’re fine, and maybe even smile, but there’s a hint of hesitation and your voice wavers.

But to an AI model that’s been trained only to categorize emotions as “happy” or “sad,” such nuances are likely lost. It logs the words and a smile and moves on—and unless your human manager intervenes, the fact that you’re tired, unfocused, and maybe a couple of days from burnout never enters the equation. “ Emotion AI ,” which estimates how people feel based on facial expressions, voice tone, and behavior, seems to be suddenly everywhere; it’s being used
