Tech With a Soul: How AI Can Make Us More Human
I’ve spent most of my life translating between worlds. As a child, I translated for my grandmother in American grocery stores while she searched for the foods she missed from Cambodia. As a teenager, I translated myself, from a refugee kid who spoke broken English to a student who lived in words. Later, as a marketer in Silicon Valley, I translated the language of technology into the language of people.
