Abstract: In recent years, significant attention has been di-rected towards the development of artificial empathy within the engineering academic community. Replicating artificial empathy necessitates the capability of agents to discern human emotions and comprehend environmental risks. Analyzing acoustic data in real environments offers a higher level of non-invasive pri-vacy compared to video and camera data, limiting the agent’s understanding to specific patterns. However, current studies are negatively affected by subjective inferences from real data, which can result in inaccurate predictions, leading to both false positives and negatives, especially when contextual data and human speech are involved. This paper work proposes the estimation of a dangerous environment in accordance with the emotional speech and additional ambient noises. In this approach we implement a variational autoencoder model in conjunction with a classifier for training the classification task. Additional regularization techniques are applied to bridge the gap between the original training data and the expected data. The classifier utilizes feature data generated by the variational autoencoder to extract class patterns and determine whether the environment is hazardous. Emotional speech is classified as angry, sad, or scared emotions, contributing to the classification of danger, while happy, calm, and neutral emotions are considered safe. Various ambient noise types, including gunfire and broken glass, are categorized as dangerous, while real-life indoor noises like cooking, eating, and movements are considered safe.
