Summary
My guest today is Rana el Kaliouby. She is on a mission to humanize technology with artificial emotional intelligence, or what she calls "Emotion AI." through developing a "deep learning" platform that combines facial expression with tone of voice to infer how a person is feeling. She is the author of "Girl Decoded: A scientist's quest to reclaim humanity by bringing emotional intelligence to technology."
The topic is her book Girl Decoded: A Scientist's Quest to Reclaim Our Humanity by Bringing Emotional Intelligence to Technology.
