\begin{abstract}
With AI becoming mainstream, how will it affect the way we interact with
our devices and how we communicate with each other? My name is Rana el
Kaliouby, and I'm an Egyptian-American scientist and entrepreneur on a
mission to humanize technology. I care deeply about ethics and trust in
AI, from considering algorithmic bias to ensuring consent and data
privacy. As Co-founder and CEO of Affectiva, an MIT spin-off that builds
artificial emotional intelligence (``Emotion AI''), my company uses
cutting-edge software that analyzes complex and nuanced emotional and
cognitive states from the human face and voice, ultimately engineering
empathy. For me, teaching machines to measure and interpret human
emotions has the potential to enhance consumer experiences, engage
students and personalize their learning, allow doctors and nurses to
deliver better care, increase road safety by tracking driver alertness,
and enable people with autism to better communicate with their families
and peers. I consider myself a role-model for young scientists who are
considering careers in technology and entrepreneurship. As a female
Muslim scientist who's one of a handful of women CEOs in the tech
industry, I'm a huge advocate for diversity and inclusion---- not just
because it is the right thing to do, but because it is the only way we
can design and build smart technologies for an increasingly global
world. Today, I'm also a co-host on PBS NOVA's new series ``NOVA
Wonders,'' in which incredible scientists from all walks of life tackle
some of the biggest questions about life and the cosmos. I believe that
science is the vehicle for innovation, so I'm truly excited to be a part
of ``NOVA Wonders''---- I especially love how NOVA shows that scientists
come in all shapes, colors and sizes, thus providing diverse role-models
that aspiring scientists can relate to and be encouraged by. I'm a World
Economic Forum (WEF) Young Global Leader and I served on WEF's Global
Future Council on AI and Robotics. I'm also a member of the Partnership
on AI, which is concerned with ensuring that AI benefits society and is
applied for good. A former research scientist at the MIT Media Lab with
a PhD in computer vision and machine learning from the University of
Cambridge, I use my voice to advocate for women in tech and for
beneficial uses of AI---- I'm often cited in and interviewed by top
business and mainstream outlets, including The New Yorker, Wired,
Forbes, Fast Company, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and
TIME Magazine. Check out my TED talk and my Inc. column, and do make
sure to watch PBS NOVA's episode on Can we Build a Brain, which
premieres May 16 on PBS! Ask me anything about being a computer
scientist, deep learning, building artificial emotional intelligence,
the applications of it, ethics in AI or how its like to be a woman
leader in tech. Thank you!%
