Synopsis "Girl Decoded: A Scientist's Quest to Reclaim our Humanity by Bringing Emotional Intelligence to Technology"
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.The majority of our communication is conveyed through non-verbal cues: facial expressions, tone of voice, body language. But these types of communication--and our ability to recognize unspoken emotions--are lost when we interact with colleagues, friends, and family through our smartphones and other devices. The result is a digital universe that's emotion-blind and a society lacking in empathy. If we lose our ability to identify with others, we risk undermining the very traits that make us human in the first place. To combat this "empathy crisis," Rana el Kaliouby founded Affectiva, the pioneer of the new field of Emotion AI. She builds emotional intelligence into our technology, developing systems that understand humans the way we understand one another. A computer scientist and Cambridge Ph.D., and divorced single mother of two young children, el Kaliouby is a rarity in both the tech world and her native Middle East: a Muslim leader and CEO, a woman in charge in a field that is still overwhelmingly white and male. A captivating memoir, Girl Decoded chronicles el Kaliouby's journey from an obedient "nice Egyptian girl" to a woman carving her own path as she revolutionizes technology--and our world. But decoding herself--learning to express and act on her own emotions--would prove to be the biggest challenge of all.
