Microsoft will phase out facial recognition AI that could detect emotions
it will"retire" facial recognition technology that it said could infer emotions as well as characteristics like age, gender and hair.

There was also no clear consensus on the definition of emotions, and no way to create a generalized link between expressions and emotions.

One of the world's largest cloud and computing companies is backing away from AI that could have a substantial impact.
