In this episode, we chat about coming back from summer break, and discuss a research paper recently published by Kerry and the AI ethicist and researcher Os Keyes called "The Infopolitics of Feeling: How race and disability are configured in Emotion Recognition Technology". We discuss why AI tools that promise to be able to read our emotions from our faces are scientifically and politically suspect. We then explore the ableist foundations of what used to be the most famous Emotion AI firm in the world: Affectiva. Kerry also explains how the Stop Asian Hate and Black Lives Matters protests of 2020 inspired this research project, and why she thinks that emotion recognition technologies have no place in our societies.

Trends in technology are constantly evolving, and so too are the ways humans interact with it. As people become more reliant on AI and automation, it's important to consider the emotional side of the equation. One way to achieve this is through emotion AI, which is concerned with making machines that can understand and respond to human emotions and make technological devices and systems more human-centric. In this episode, Tommy talks with Rana el Kaliouby, Deputy CEO at Smart Eye and formerly, Co-Founder and CEO of Affectiva. Rana is an Egyptian-American scientist, entrepreneur, angel investor, and AI thought leader on a mission to bring emotional intelligence to our digital world. Her life work is about humanizing technology before it dehumanizes us. Rana is also the author of the bestselling book, “Girl Decoded: A Scientist's Quest to Reclaim Our Humanity by Bringing Emotional Intelligence to Technology.” Rana talks with Tommy about artificial intelligence and emotion AI, her motivation for merging Affectiva with Smart Eye, and what artificial intelligence can do for the future.

But as we all know, your emotional intelligence matters even more. It's how you connect with people. " - Rana el Kaliouby [08:47] - "When interacting with somebody via technology, the richness of our emotional expressions tends to get lost in cyberspace. And so, I wanted to build technology that could capture these facial expressions using machine learning, computer vision, and tons of data." - Rana el Kaliouby Links  Rana el Kaliouby on LinkedIn Rana el Kaliouby on Twitter Rana el Kaliouby Website Affectiva Smart Eye Girl Decoded Massachusetts Institute of Technology Harvard Business School The American Univesity in Cairo Rosalind Picard Neuralink Connect with our hosts Mammoth Tommy on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Learn more about Mammoth Scientific's Health & Tech Fund 1 When you move beyond the point of making sure your retirement goals are on track, your investment opportunities are wider than just publicly traded funds.

Full episode here. Finally, I wanted to leave you with a quote from Admiral Grace Hopper, a pioneer in computer programming as well as United States Navy admiral – it's an amended version of a quote by John A Shedd in his 1928 book, Salt from My Attic.Hopper's version reads, “A ship in port is safe, but that is not what ships are for.”I think it sums up the entrepreneurial spirit so well. Founders refuse to stay in their comfort zones – they go out and they build, despite the barriers and despite the naysayers and that's why they inspire me so.Happy International Women's Day!This special episode was hosted by me Danielle Twitter / Instagram / Newsletter  and edited by my long-time editor and project collaborator Jolin Cheng.
