She’s written a book about Emotionally Intelligent Design, book chapters about technology and well-being, and articles about the ethics of care, emotional artificial intelligence, and emojis too.

Pamela is speaking about the age of Big Emotion and everything that comes with it, from cars that care and cities that are mood-aware to robot pets and emotion-aware video chat. She's given talks in real-life and online, at festivals like SXSW and NEXT, major tech events like Web Summit and TNW, corporate events at Facebook and Google, and on the TEDx stage.

Pamela is feeling hopeful about how COVID-19 might shape the future of empathic technology, how we can design less addictive phones and more honest bots, and how to create ethical emotion AI.
