Why read it?

1 author picked Girl Decoded as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Dr. Rana el Kaliouby is an Egyptian-born computer scientist and tech entrepreneur who co-founded the company Affectiva based on her pioneering work on Emotion AI, a subfield of Artificial Intelligence.

I recommend this book because what’s not to love about building empathy and emotion into technology!
