A technological revolution is looming at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January 2024: Ontbo, a French deeptech company, will present its emotional reading AI.

As a reminder, CES is THE global event dedicated to tech. 130,000 participants, 3,500 exhibitors and more than 1,000 start-ups are expected there. There is even an all-inclusive stay so you can take part without having to worry too much about organizing the trip. Among the companies present at this colossal event will be Ontbo, which will offer its latest innovation in artificial intelligence: a system capable of analyzing human emotions. Which is reminiscent of the ELIZA project of the 1960s, a therapeutic natural language processing program that simulated human conversation. A little more advanced all the same!

Ontbo technology: a giant step forward in emotional AI

The approach of this French company particularly stands out. She successfully developed an AI system capable of analyzing and measuring human emotions in real time. In the domain of affective computing (a sector at the crossroads between computer science and psychology, which aims to reduce the linguistic barriers between man and machine), it is a great feat!

Their technology is already patented, and can be adapted to many different equipment and OS. The imaginable applications are therefore quite numerous.

Applications and impacts: beyond technology

Athénaïs Oslati, CEO and founder of Ontbo, is very enthusiastic about the possibilities offered by their system:

  • Creation of decision support tools for eSports coaches.
  • Personalization of products in luxury and cosmetics.
  • Improvement of customer relations in banks.

The example of eSports is very convincing, because it can allow coaches to adapt their strategies in real time by relying on data collected by bio-sensors on their players. Truly stunning. This is just the beginning, and it is very likely that this technology could open up to an even wider field of application in the future. Are we touching on a new paradigm, in which technology is no longer content to just acquire cold data, but also to capture the nuances of human experience?
