            Disinformation and Misinformation/. Springer. [OPEN ACCESS]

        Our new open accessbook,/Optimising Emotions, Incubating
        Falsehoods/
        <https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-13551-4>/,/ is
        a global examination of false information, a conceptualisation
        of what recent years signify, and a distillation of what we
        should do about it and what’s coming next.


        Withmounting evidence that emotion profiling incubates false
        information online, causing significant harms worldwide,the book
        considers near horizon scenariosthat exploitthe automated
        industrial psycho-physiological profiling of the civic body to
        understand affect and infer emotion for the purposes of changing
        behaviour.


         From the Ministry of Optimised Moods to ProfitingfromOptimising
        Fellow-Feeling – both possible scenarios arising from an
        expansion in thebandwidth for emotion capture - this book will
        likely interest those working in policy and technology, multiple
        disciplines, and anyone with a general interest in protecting
        the ‘global civic body’ from theonslaught of targeted, false
        information that emotion profiling enables.


        The book flows from Economic and Social Research Council grant
        onEmotional AI in Cities: Cross Cultural Lessons from UK and
        Japan on Designing for An Ethical Life.
