Girl decoded : a scientist's quest to reclaim our humanity by bringing emotional intelligence to technology / Rana el Kaliouby, with Carol Colman.

El Kaliouby, Rana, (author.). Colman, Carol, (author.).

Summary:

In a captivating memoir, an Egyptian American visionary and scientist provides an intimate view of her personal transformation as she follows her calling-to humanize our technology and how we connect with one another. Rana el Kaliouby is a rarity in both the tech world and her native Middle East: a Muslim woman in charge in a field that is still overwhelmingly white and male. After earning her PhD at Cambridge, el Kaliouby moved to America to pursue her mission to humanize technology before it dehumanizes us. To combat our fundamental loss of emotional intelligence online, she cofounded Affectiva, the pioneer in the new field of Emotion AI, allowing our technology to understand humans the way we understand one another.
