#322 – Rana el Kaliouby: Emotion AI, Social Robots, and Self-Driving Cars

[0] The following is a conversation with Rana L. Kalubi, a pioneer in the field of emotion recognition and human -centric artificial intelligence.

[1] She is the founder of Effectiva, deputy CEO of SmartEye, author of Girl Decoded, and one of the most brilliant, kind, inspiring, and fun human beings I've gotten a chance to talk to.

[2] Now, a quick few second mention of each sponsor.

[3] Check them out in the description.

[4] It's the best way to support this podcast.

[5] We've got to Mizza and Maine for style, weights and biases for machine learning, notion for collaboration, inside tracker for biomonitoring, and ExpressVPN for privacy.

[6] Choose wisely, my friends.

[7] And now on to the full ad reads.

[8] As always, no ads in the middle.

[9] I hate those.

[10] As a fan of podcast, I hate those.

[11] So as long as I have control of a thing, I'm not going to do them.

[12] But these ads I do now, I try to make them interesting.

[13] But if you must skip, And if I'm being honest, break my heart in the process.

[14] But please do check out the sponsors.

[15] I enjoy their stuff, maybe you will too.

[16] This show is brought to you by Mizzen and Maine, the maker of comfortable, stylish, dress shirts, and other manswear.

[17] I've actually been packing.

[18] I should be packing right now.

[19] That sounds weird out of context.

[20] I'm packing a suitcase full of clothes.

[21] And I packed a bunch of Miz and Maine shirt.

[22] because I'm going to Vegas and also I'm actually not sure where I'm going after that, probably back to Boston traveling a bit.

[23] And that's the thing I can really count on.

[24] So there's always going to be a bunch of black t -shirts.

[25] That's like the super comfortable thing.

[26] The extra step off from that is the Mizna -Main black dress shirts.

[27] And then, of course, there is the suit and tie.

[28] So I have all of that.

[29] But my sort of balance between suit and tie, and a t -shirt is a Mizanamane dress shirt, super classy, comfortable.

[30] I just love it.

[31] Right now you can get a special discount, just go to Mizanamain .com and use promo code Lex.

[32] This show is brought to you by weights and biases.

[33] The company helping machine learning teams build better models faster.

[34] It really is one of my favorite companies, not just for the fact that they are doing machine learning or helping teams and individuals do machine learning, but that they're helping just the entire community, the spirit of the machine learning community, they're helping in all fronts.

[35] On the research front, on the individual developer front, on the small company, medium -sized company, large company front, on the educational farm, the whole thing.

[36] They support, like I said, the machine learning research community.

[37] Their tools are free for personal use and their team's features available for free to academic researchers.

[38] Companies like OpenA
