Amazon’s new AI can tell if you are in a bad mood
 

Amazon is about to spruce up the AI function on its Echo personal assistant so that it can tell if you are hacked off.

Researchers are working on natural-language-processing updates that will help it detect emotion in someone’s voice, as well as remember and connect known information about a user to their requests.

For example, if Alexa knows that a user lives in Mill Street in Oxford, it’ll factor in that information when deciding how to answer the question “who is singing at the Kite tonight?” It will know that the user is not asking about kites but the pub they most like sleeping under the tables of.
