Pamela Pavliscak (pav-li-shock) guides organizations toward emotionally intelligent futures as founder of Change Sciences. Part ethnography, part psychology, part data science, her approach translates future vision into tangible everyday possibilities. She specializes in emotionally intelligent design and emotion-sensing artificial intelligence. Her research has been featured on CBC's Spark, Salon, and Quartz. Her book, Emotionally Intelligent Design, focuses on how to design a future that has as much EQ as it does IQ. Pamela is a TEDx speaker and has spoken at SxSW , TNW, Web Summit, Google Creative Labs, among many others. She teaches at the Pratt Institute School of Information in NYC and has lectured at the Stanford d.School, ASU's Center for Science and the Imagination, University of Washington, and Parsons. In this interview, we discuss: How technology is giving us new emotions that we don't know what to call them The emotional relationship we have with technology and how schadenfreude plays a part The "Uncanny Valley" aspect of technology and how I first experienced this myself during CES in 2015 with Toshiba's "Robot Hostess" Transhumanism and the implication that human consciousness can be transferred to alternative media, known as mind uploading. The Singularity Let's go to the show! Note: This interview was recorded before the current unrest.
Artificial intelligence seems poised to remake what it means to be human. We struggle with how human to make our machines, at the same time as we struggle with how to maintain our own humanity. Without emotion, we won’t even get close. The convergence of affective computing and AI will bring us toward an era of emotionally intelligent machines. And, even more important, may lead us to a more humane future for humans, too. Full video: https://youtu.be/b7ivN4hVpRo All about TNW Conference: https://tnw.to/conference

She is founder of Change Sciences, a research think tank focused on humanizing technology for Chase, NBC Universal, Virgin, and many others.

Show notes at http://hellotechpros.com/pamela-pavliscak-technology/ Key Takeaways What makes people feel happy or miserable about technology? We have been through many waves of technology in the last 100 years. Mainframe computers and home automation / home devices (refrigerators & washing machines). Personal computers and early access to internet. Smartphones and high-bandwidth. Wearables and embeddables. People are fascinated with smartphone and get emotionally attached to them. We know how phones are making us miserable, but how does it impact happiness? They allow us to be creative. They allow us to create and foster relationships. When we design technology for one purpose, how much control do we have over how people actually use it? What do we value in technology? When we move from smartphone to embedded tech, we can't as easily "detox" or unplug. People working in tech are generally optimists. Data collection and privacy is a huge issue. We have symbiotic relationship with technology and need to be conscious on how we use it and how it affects us.
