The idea of computers capable of reading our emotions and responding to them is both fascinating and terrifying. Will this technology serve us or manipulate us? 

Well, the speculation is ending because the technology not only exists, but it is being rolled out commercially. 

Today I'd like you to meet Hazumu Yamazaki, co-founder of Empath. Empath is a web-based API that detects human emotion from audio data, and its initial use in call-centers has shown a significant increase in sales. But as Hazumu explains, the potential effects are much larger. 

It's an enlightening conversation, and I think you'll enjoy it.
