October 4, 2023: Artificial intelligence burst onto the scene almost overnight with the introduction of ChatGPT. Are we’re about to see another big bang disruption of a similar kind, where AI becomes ’emotionally aware’ and changes everything in its wake? Will emotions remain exclusively in the sphere of human experience, or will machines gain capabilities similar to emotional intelligence?
