Espressione delle emozioni, intelligenza artificiale, "vacanza" delle scienze umane

In the broad reflections on Artificial Intelligence, the problematicity of Paul Ekman's theory of emotion recognition from facial expression, applied in AI systems almost exclusively, has also emerged. A belated but valuable opportunity to examine its flaws more courageously, approaching more closely, first of all, what they indicate: shortcomings and gaps in the thinking about the human. A topic, vast and complex, that the new and young attention to AI can allow to be addressed in a renewed way.
