"How corporations will use artificial empathy to sell us more shit." "The research being done by Shasha Lu, a lecturer in marketing at the Cambridge Judge Business School, seeks to combine machine-based image and video analysis with current marketing techniques in order to streamline product sales. The idea is essentially to teach a machine to read a customer’s behavioral cues in reaction to a particular product and then make targeted product recommendations based on these social signals. In Lu’s case, she is specifically focusing on teaching a machine how to give clothing recommendations tailored (ha!) to the individual consumer."

"According to Lu, the project is based on techniques used by human salespeople."
