How Much Emotionally Intelligent AI Can Be?

Abstract

We tackle the question to what extent artificial intelligence can have an emotional component, and to what extent it can resemble a human. The article's main aim is to provide an overview of artificial intelligence systems containing emotional intelligence elements and show their development directions. Several innovative projects were analysed that attempted to apply emotional intelligence to an artificial intelligence algorithm. The article presents the emotional component in the currently used artificial intelligence in everyday life solutions. Potential threats associated with the development of emotional intelligence in humanoids and the importance of this development for societies are also discussed.
