Gartner identifies in this report that though: “The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted emotion artificial intelligence (AI) technology business in 1H20 across most industries where this technology is already applied — many projects were put on hold. In 2H20 and 2021, we see business picking up again with customer experience enhancement, fraud detection, ad testing and entertainment solutions driving demand.” The report “observes a rise in demand in these three areas Health diagnostics, Employee/personal well-being and Fraud Detection.”

Intelligent Voices has developed its LexiQal solution for credibility analysis to deliver analysis that is deeper than other vendors in this industry , because it has access to a wider range of academically researched indicators. For example, Intelligent Voice has worked with car insurance companies in the U.S. and the U.K., to analyse customer calls for insurance claims. The software looks for certain markers in the voice, and different ways of speaking that, when combined, point to how reliable someone’s account of damage or theft is in an insurance claim. This same approach is also designed to identify attempted account fraud at first contact within the banking industry and is designed to supplement existing voice biometric authentication.
