Abstract: In terms of human-machine relationship, Gen Z, those who were born between 1997-2012, is the first generation who becomes productive members of society under so much technological disruption in a short period of time. For example, as a consequence of remote work caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the global industry of emotional AI is forecasted to almost double from $19.5 in 2020 to $37.1 billion by 2026, at the compound annual growth rate of 11.3% in this period, according to Markets and Markets (Madhumita, 2021). Consequently, as Gen Z is poised to become the largest demographics for entry-level jobs (Pichler, Kohli & Granitz, 2021), they are expected to confront with a so much uncertain time of the various effects of emotion auto-tracking practices on mental and physical health, productivity, security, etc., have only gathered research interests in recent years. In this essay, using the mindsponge framework (Vuong and Napier, 2015), I reflect on the relationship of Gen Z with emotional AI technologies.
