Amazon is working on a health-related wearable, via internal documents shared with Bloomberg. Makes a whole lot of sense for a few reasons:
— Christina Farr (@chrissyfarr) May 23, 2019
- Amazon doesn't have data about folks on the go
- Gives Alexa a better ability to know things about our health https://t.co/ZNml06ho9P
“The technology could help the company gain insights for potential health products or be used to better target advertising or product recommendations.”

Take a second and look at the diagram. WTF. ? https://t.co/7KiyvKsx3B
"Designed to work with a smartphone app, the device has microphones paired with software that can discern the wearer’s emotional state from the sound of his or her voice" @mattmday for @technology https://t.co/KCZk2NHWVZ

Oh, that’s interesting. And who is going to have access to this data again? Right. https://t.co/BpzkglHfS1

Here's Amazon's diagram of its wrist-worn invention that reads emotions and suggests products.

You cough and it asks if you'd like to cough drops within an hour.
Can't imagine anyone wanting their body this tightly integrated with a commerce platform https://t.co/NN37RX1T9l pic.twitter.com/6gSnzIlxyY

(But not that "#AI" will *understand* emotions - it never will.)
What such algorithms will likely enable, however, is ever more effective powers of #manipulation for those who create & control them. Manipulation of YOU.#WTFU! https://t.co/vFOV6RF6WB

Amazon is reportedly working on wearables that can read your emotions https://t.co/7OpZFrZH0o via @cnbctech <--- Not into it, man. Don't need a corporation of any kind "reading" my emotions.

Eventually the technology could be able to advise the wearer how to interact more effectively with others

to advise the wearer how to interact more effectively with others
more effectively with others https://t.co/qJu98hxHU1
Can it detect extreme irritation with the current technological oligopoly ? https://t.co/hjjnXbI5R0

Add this to its: commerce+logistics network, home assistant+surveillance systems, brick & mortar PoS, emerging algo-powered health services, ad tech & human-tracking warehouse devices, and I'd argue that Amazon is doing more to usher in a techno-dystopia than any other SV company https://t.co/SwM7IoHUfQ

Has anyone told Amazon that there aren’t distinct physiological signatures for discrete states? Or is physiological emotion monitoring the new (and highly dubious) neuromarketing snake oil? https://t.co/85DafT0qqi

despite what this hed/illo combo might imply, this is not just patent conjecture!

Amazon is beta-testing a watch which knows what your feeling based on your voice and eventually could "advise the wearer how to interact more effectively with others” https://t.co/DWh15Q6i90

See screenshot: "Would you like me to order cough drops for you?" The more it understands us, the more it can order -> Amazon is working on a wearable voice-activated health and wellness device that works with a mobile app and can recognize human emotions https://t.co/h0fgocDXHj pic.twitter.com/KCMIiLaqI6

Truly emotionally intelligent machines are still a ways away, but big companies clearly realize it's a holy grail worth chasing -- what data is more robust than (properly parsed) emotions? https://t.co/4mDj0U67Ed
