Artificial intelligence can emulate emotion.

Artificial intelligence can react to feelings. The idea of this kind of system is that when they see things like a laugh. The AI can laugh with the person. Or otherwise saying: the AI can send a sound effect, that seems like laughing. But how the AI knows when the person talks to it? Or when it should react to something? In that case, the AI recognizes the face. When a person looks at the AI, it reacts with a similar effect. 

When AI recognizes a smile, it will answer with a smile. If the user cries or seems depressed that system can apologize for that thing. The idea is that system sees the marks of sadness or disappointment, and then those signs activate certain database computer's memory. So the AI that reacts to feelings is like a magic mirror.

Signals that are coming from sensors activate the certain database. And that allows the system to react to the thing, that it sees or hears. The system has certain parameters. It uses those parameters to react to things like feelings. When a person is happy the system knows it by following the voice and face. And how AI knows when it should laugh with others. The system detects how many people are laughing and also analyze situations. 

That kind of technology is needed when we are creating social robots. Those robots are planned to use in law enforcement's undercover missions. The idea of social robots is that they can emulate emotions. And that makes them very interesting tools. If we want to create a robot that is acting like a human, the system must give respond to emotions and other kinds of things. 

But AI can also make many more things. And one is that it can predict suicides. In that kinds of cases, when the AI tries to make that kind of prediction it uses a data matrix collected from similar cases. The data matrix can contain the use of the internet and other kinds of things. Then the AI will compare the data matrix with other people. And that thing helps it find people who planning those kinds of things.
