9 AI emotion recognition in the workplace

The EU AI Act, Art. 5(1)(f), lists emotion recognition in the workplace among the practices it does not allow, except where the AI system is intended for medical or safety reasons. At an EU location the question is both whether the tool infers emotion and whether that exception covers it; the planner does not decide either.

For the DPO and counsel: Does this tool infer emotion, mood or sentiment from staff (or detect presence or objects only), and is it intended for medical or safety reasons?
