Issue Scenario: team sentiment and stress become live metrics on HR dashboards

Summary

One of NTT DATA's future scenarios for emotional AI brings affective metrics into the workplace. In it, AI systems monitor team sentiment, stress levels and the emotional climate continuously. These readings flow into human resources or operational dashboards alongside conventional performance data. The scenario extends the report's view that emotion sensing is already technically deployable. It flags two main uncertainties, namely whether employees will accept being monitored emotionally and how privacy regulators will classify affective signals. The outcome is likely to shape how far emotional AI can go inside organisations.
