The field of artificial intelligence and ambient intelligence is moving towards a more human-centric approach, with a focus on eliciting emotions and creating immersive experiences. Researchers are exploring the potential of AI to generate music, create interactive art installations, and provide personalized stress relief. The use of physiological signals, such as heart rate and respiration rate, is becoming increasingly popular in the development of AI systems that can adapt to individual needs. Furthermore, the integration of AI into public spaces is being investigated, with a focus on creating environments that provoke feelings of awe, wonder, and beauty. Noteworthy papers in this area include Sound Clouds, which introduces an immersive art installation that generates live music based on participants' interaction, and BREATH, which presents a multimodal system for personalized music generation that integrates physiological sensing and LLM-based reasoning. Additionally, papers such as Agentic Inequality and Towards a feminist understanding of digital platform work highlight the need to consider the social and economic implications of AI and ambient intelligence, including issues of power, inequality, and exploitation.
