Майкрософт прекращает продажи софта для распознавания эмоций
"Such “emotion recognition” tools have been criticized by experts. They say not only do facial expressions that are thought to be universal differ across different populations but that it is unscientific to equate external displays of emotion with internal feelings."

Users will have to apply to use Azure Face for facial identification, for example, telling Microsoft exactly how and where they’ll be deploying its systems. Some use cases with less harmful potential (like automatically blurring faces in images and videos) will remain open-access.
... Microsoft is also retiring Azure Face’s ability to identify “attributes such as gender, age, smile, facial hair, hair, and makeup.”"
