[[Affective computing]] is a field that comprises systems that recognize, interpret, process, or simulate human [[Affect (psychology)|feeling, emotion, and mood]].<ref>[[Affective computing]]: {{Harvtxt|Thro|1993}}, {{Harvtxt|Edelson|1991}}, {{Harvtxt|Tao|Tan|2005}}, {{Harvtxt|Scassellati|2002}}</ref> For example, some [[virtual assistant]]s are programmed to speak conversationally or even to banter humorously; it makes them appear more sensitive to the emotional dynamics of human interaction, or to otherwise facilitate [[human–computer interaction]].

However, this tends to give naïve users an unrealistic conception of the intelligence of existing computer agents.{{Sfnp|Waddell|2018}} Moderate successes related to affective computing include textual [[sentiment analysis]] and, more recently, [[multimodal sentiment analysis]], wherein AI classifies the effects displayed by a videotaped subject.{{Sfnp|Poria|Cambria|Bajpai |Hussain|2017}}
