In this episode of the Practical AI podcast, host Jeff Smith, founder and CEO of CHRP, discusses how his company integrates AI and music to assess employee well-being. CHRP uses users' music listening habits to subtly gauge their emotional states, providing valuable insights for both individuals and organizations. By analyzing acoustic features, listening patterns, and context such as podcasts and audiobooks, the system establishes a baseline and detects deviations, delivering tailored feedback and overarching trends for businesses. Jeff highlights the surprisingly accurate link between music and emotional indicators, the importance of user privacy, and the promising applications this technology could have in areas like mental health, sports, and the military.
