The Sentient Multimedia System: Unravelling the Future of Human-Machine Interaction explores the emerging generation of intelligent systems that can perceive, analyze, interpret, and respond to human behaviour and contextual information. The book examines advances in multimodal artificial intelligence, deep learning, affective computing, virtual and augmented reality, intelligent wearables, knowledge graphs, the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and autonomous systems. It presents the technological foundations of sentient multimedia systems alongside their applications in intelligent interaction, consumer decision-making, workflow automation, healthcare, personalised well-being, sustainability, education, and financial services. The book also addresses the ethical, societal, and governance challenges associated with these technologies, including data privacy, cybersecurity, algorithmic bias, fairness, explainability, accountability, and responsible AI. Emphasising an interdisciplinary approach, it connects computer science and human-computer interaction with healthcare, finance, education, environmental sustainability, and public policy. This book is a valuable reference for researchers, academics, postgraduate and doctoral students, technology professionals, policymakers, and practitioners interested in the future of intelligent multimedia systems and human-machine interaction. It provides insights into the development of adaptive, context-aware, and personalised digital ecosystems while highlighting the importance of ensuring that technological progress remains secure, transparent, inclusive, and aligned with human values.
