Emotion recognition systems are finding growing use, from monitoring customer responses to ads to scanning for ‘distressed’ women in danger.

Is mood recognition a tool useful for anything other than maintaining power over others (actually curious)?

If you ever want a real General AI then it will need the ability to recognize the mood of the person it's interacting with. ESPECIALLY if you want to use it for things like Mental Health Counseling.

Mental Health Counseling.

Thanks, that's a valid answer like I was looking for. Though we don't have actual AI and probably won't have actual AGI for at least a good decade (we currently have machine learning and complex decision trees which appear kinda intelligent to us in 2023).
