Café Scientifique Tuesday 2 April 2024 – Should we help machines understand and respond to our emotions?

Knowledge Exchange, Public engagement ballen

At Café Scientifique, you can explore the latest ideas in science and technology in a relaxed setting. Enjoy listening to a short talk before engaging in debate and discussion with our guest speaker and audience

We’ll be joined by Dr Roya Haratian on Tuesday 2 April from 6:30 – 8:00pm.

Assistive technology in the home is increasingly part of everyday life. To improve the experience for people who use it, researchers are looking at ways to improve machines’ ability to adapt to human emotions. But does this also have its disadvantages?

Join Dr Roya Haratian, electronics scientist from Bournemouth University, to explore how research in this area can improve the way machines adapt to users’ experience, and also address the concerns it raises.

This event will be held at The Black Cherry in Boscombe, Bournemouth. Although the talks start at 6:30pm, the café will be open early so we encourage you to arrive early for a drink and a bite to eat before the talk starts.

If you have any questions about this event please email the Public Engagement with Research Team: publicengagement@bournemouth.ac.uk
