摘要
在这篇文章中,我们认为面部情感识别技术(面部ERT)再现了基于可量化且分布不均的情感能力概念的伪科学的历史形式。借鉴凯拉-舒勒(Kyla Schuller)的《感觉的生物政治学》(Biopolitics of Feeling)和科林-库普曼(Colin Koopman)的信息权力理论,我们提出了 "感觉的信息政治学"(the infopolitics of feeling)一词,以描述面部情绪识别技术如何编码文化上 "正确 "或规范的情绪表达形式,这些形式在历史上一直被用来定义和界定人类的含义。为了提出这一论点,我们仔细研读了著名情感人工智能(AI)公司 Affectiva 的创始人兼前首席执行官拉娜-卡利乌比(Rana el Kaliouby)的自传《女孩解码》(Girl Decoded)。我们认为,"女孩解码 "将卡利欧比本人--被描绘成富有同情心、自由、情感表达能力强和理想的 "感觉 "主体--与两个非规范化的人物对立起来:一个是没有感觉的自闭症患者,另一个是必须通过 Affectiva 的面部 ERT 才能 "治愈 "的高深莫测的东方人。
The Infopolitics of feeling: How race and disability are configured in Emotion Recognition Technology
In this article, we argue that facial emotion recognition technology (facial ERT) reproduces historical forms of pseudoscience based on the concept of quantifiable and unequally distributed emotional capacity. Drawing on Kyla Schuller’s Biopolitics of Feeling and Colin Koopman’s theory of infopower, we put forward the term ‘the infopolitics of feeling’ to describe how facial ERT encodes culturally ‘correct’ or normative forms of emotional expression that have historically been used to define and delineate what it means to be human. To make this argument, we provide a close reading of Girl Decoded, the autobiography of Rana el Kaliouby, the founder and former CEO of the leading Emotion artificial intelligence (AI) firm Affectiva. Girl Decoded, we argue pits el Kaliouby herself – portrayed as the empathetic, liberal, emotionally expressive and ideal ‘feeling’ subject – against two non-normative figures: the unfeeling autist and the inscrutable Oriental who must be ‘cured’ through Affectiva’s facial ERT.
