About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
We are entering an empathy crisis. Most of our communication is conveyed through nonverbal cues - facial expressions, tone of voice, body language - nuances that are completely lost when we interact through our smartphones and other technology. The result is a digital universe that's emotion-blind - a society lacking in empathy.
Rana el Kalioubi discovered this when she left Cairo, a newly married, Muslim woman, to take up her place at Cambridge University to study computer science. Many thousands of miles from home, she began to develop systems to help her better connect with her family. She started to pioneer the new field of emotional intelligence (EI). She now runs her company, Affectiva (the industry-leader in this emerging field) that builds EI into our technology and develops systems that understand humans the way we understand one another.
In a captivating memoir, Girl Decoded chronicles el Kaliouby's mission to humanise technology and what she learns about humanity along the way.

Inspiring memoir read by the author
A moving and inspiring memoir from a true ambassador for women of colour in technology. Regardless of background you cannot fail to be impressed and moved by Rana el Kaliouby's journey personally, academically and professionally that saw her move from conservative Cairo and the Middle East to Boston via Cambridge as CEO of Affectiva, a successful start-up specialising in "emotion AI". Affectiva's ambitious vision for taking AI to the next level and addressing some of the key imbalances in diversity, safety, healthcare, the automotive industry and beyond, are thought provoking.
