- Title: Mapping the Technological Future: A Topic, Sentiment, and Emotion Analysis in Social Media Discourse
- Authors: Alina Landowska, Maciej Skorski, Krzysztof Rajda,
- Abstract summary: This study uses BERTopic modelling along with sentiment and emotion analysis on 1.5 million tweets from 2021 to 2023.
It identifies anticipated tech-driven futures and captures the emotions communicated by 400 key opinion leaders (KOLs)
Findings indicate positive sentiment significantly outweighs negative, with a prevailing dominance of positive anticipatory emotions.

- Abstract: People worldwide are currently confronted with a number of technological challenges, which act as a potent source of uncertainty. The uncertainty arising from the volatility and unpredictability of technology (such as AI) and its potential consequences is widely discussed on social media. This study uses BERTopic modelling along with sentiment and emotion analysis on 1.5 million tweets from 2021 to 2023 to identify anticipated tech-driven futures and capture the emotions communicated by 400 key opinion leaders (KOLs). Findings indicate positive sentiment significantly outweighs negative, with a prevailing dominance of positive anticipatory emotions. Specifically, the 'Hope' score is approximately 10.33\% higher than the median 'Anxiety' score. KOLs emphasize 'Optimism' and benefits over 'Pessimism' and challenges. The study emphasizes the important role KOLs play in shaping future visions through anticipatory discourse and emotional tone during times of technological uncertainty.

Existing emotion prediction benchmarks do not consider the diversity of emotions that an image and text can elicit in humans due to various reasons.
We propose Socratis, a societal reactions benchmark, where each image-caption (IC) pair is annotated with multiple emotions and the reasons for feeling them.
We benchmark the capability of state-of-the-art multimodal large language models to generate the reasons for feeling an emotion given an IC pair.
