alt Hacker NewsIt's probably stuck in legal limbo in the EU. The recently passed EU AI Act prohibits "AI systems aiming to identify or infer emotions", and Advanced Voice does definitely infer the user's emotions.
(There is an exemption for "AI systems placed on the market strictly for medical or safety reasons, such as systems intended for therapeutical use", but Advanced Voice probably doesn't benefit from that exemption.)
Apparently this prohibition only applies to "situations related to the workplace and education", and, in this context, "That prohibition should not cover AI systems placed on the market strictly for medical or safety reasons"
So it seems to be possible to use this in a personal context.
