| Abstract: | Artificial Emotional Intelligence is one the visions for the future. It is promised to develop an AI that can recognise, interpret, process, and simulate emotions. This might enable more individual approaches and interactions, especially in the field of psychiatry. The aim of this research was to explore ethical and practical implications of AEI (in psychiatry). An interdisciplinary approach was used to assess the implications from a philosophical-psychological perspective. Five problem-centered expert interviews were conducted to ensure the practical applicability of the results and explore possible implications that might arise in the field of application. Practical implications of AEI in psychiatry among others include: improving the general mental health care system, the domain of application, privacy and data handling, which at the same time is an ethical implication. Ethical implications addressed lack of empathy and the uncanny valley problem, biases and responsibility, the need for governance, capitalisation, missing consensus on definitions of emotions, possible overreliance on the AI and the need for human oversight. |
