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. Growing up in Egypt and Kuwait, el Kaliouby was raised by a strict father who valued tradition-yet also had high expectations for his daughters-and a mother who was one of the first female computer programmers in the Middle East. Even before el Kaliouby broke ground as a scientist, she broke the rules of what it meant to be an obedient daughter and, later, an obedient wife to pursue her own daring dream. After earning her PhD at Cambridge, el Kaliouby, now the divorced mother of two, moved to America to pursue her mission to humanize technology before it dehumanizes us. The majority of our communication is conveyed through nonverbal cues: facial expressions, tone of voice, body language. But that communication is lost when we interact with others through our smartphones and devices. The result is an emotion-blind digital universe that impairs the very intelligence and capabilities-including empathy-that distinguish human beings from our machines. 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. Girl Decoded chronicles el Kaliouby's journey from being a "nice Egyptian girl" to becoming a woman, carving her own path as she revolutionizes technology. But decoding herself-learning to express and act on her own emotions-would prove to be the biggest challenge of all"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a El Kaliouby, Rana. 650 0 $a Women scientists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Egyptian American women $v Biography. 650 0 $a Artificial intelligence $x Research. 650 0 $a Artificial intelligence $x Social aspects. 941 $a 17 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024242.0 952 $l BEPA251 $d 20231028013803.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909060832.0 952 $l MIPA194 $d 20220806014439.0 952 $l YSPD232 $d 20220406013337.0 952 $l TXPC862 $d 20220107011548.0 952 $l AQPC277 $d 20211111010506.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20210824010241.0 952 $l YXPB162 $d 20210729012255.0 952 $l PZPA094 $d 20210630011402.0 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20210614182011.0 952 $l FFPC194 $d 20210505010257.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20210504012424.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20210428011418.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103020938.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200616012743.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200502010340.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=36956A948C3A11EAB4A2F82B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
