New York, New York — 9/19/24 — The CAFES Institute is proud to announce the release of its first comprehensive literature review, titled “Emotional and Affective Intelligence in Artificial Intelligence: A Call for Frameworks, Regulations, and Ethical Development.” This pivotal document explores the critical discussions surrounding the integration of emotional intelligence in AI systems and underscores the necessity for robust frameworks and regulations as technology advances.

As artificial intelligence continues to evolve and permeate various aspects of daily life, the intersection of technology and human emotion becomes increasingly vital.
