Requests:  0 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. 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"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 006.3092 El Kaliouby El   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 006.3092 El Kaliouby El   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 006.3092 El Kaliouby El   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Biography B El Kaliouby El Women's History Display/BIOGRAPHY Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B El Kaliouby El   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 006.3092 El Kaliouby El   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Biography B El Kaliouby El   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
