The first is that emotion recognition occurs when dealing with humans, and this is not considered unethical. That a machine is attempting to replicate this function is an accurate assessment. The machine might remember your previous emotional states, but that is true of a human being as well.

It is unlikely that this technology would replicate human ability to read emotion in others, because of individual variations and subtleties. In addition, there is little evidence to suggest that a machine can develop the same type of interactions with people based on emotional state that other humans can -- indeed it is unlikely that even an intelligent machine would have the same concept of emotions (Goertzel, 2004).

To me, the machine issue is a non-issue so there remains to ethical issue to consider with respect to emotion-reading machines.
