<p style="font-weight: 400;">When <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosalind-picard-0111bb/'>Rosalind Picard</a> joined the <a href='https://web.mit.edu/'>MIT Media Lab</a> faculty in 1991, she was given crucial advice—take risks. As a female engineer in a male-dominated field, Rosalind found the idea of venturing into the emotion-technology space | daunting, but she decided to take the risk anyways. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Since then, Rosalind has co-founded two companies and written a book about affective computing. Also known as artificial emotional intelligence, this multidisciplinary field provides technologies with the ability to understand and use emotion when interacting with humans. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Rosalind discusses her ground-breaking work at the intersection of computation, emotion, and AI and her words of wisdom for the future risk-takers of tech. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Do you have any thoughts?
