Friends app could alert now if you lie

Washington: The Hunger Games assessment technology promises to make our lives easier. Facial recognition technology already allows people to get immediate and amazing customer service, and especially catch if you are telling a lie to your peers.

Writing in the Washington Post, Gary Shapiro, president and chief executive of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), writes “The technology can also analyse the human voice to determine emotion again, not just mimicking, but surpassing our brain’s abilities.

There are also potentially negative consequences. If you can run a person’s image and voice through an app to determine their emotions and veracity, we will have to adjust as a society. Many of our daily interactions are built on small lies: “So happy to see you”, “Of course I remember you.”

As we uncover our deceptions implicit and explicit, including those of which we have convinced even ourselves a market for technology that hides our emotions will arise, Mr Shapiro wrote.
