Aura Martinez' study examines the capacity of artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret human emotions expressed in film reviews. Using natural language processing (NLP), the research evaluates whether AI can detect basic emotions as well as more nuanced affective states, including irony, sarcasm, and subjectivity. A comparative analysis between AI predictions and human assessments is conducted to identify differences in accuracy and depth of understanding. The study also investigates potential limitations and errors in AI emotional processing, highlighting challenges in interpreting complex human affective expressions. Findings aim to clarify both the capabilities and boundaries of current AI systems in recognizing emotions within cultural and artistic texts, providing insights for future applications in sentiment analysis and human-computer interaction.
