Fei-Fei Li: Exploring the AI Revolution

Where did AI come from? Who created it, why, and where can it lead?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly developing into a world-changer, affecting every industry and being used by hundreds of millions of people-even when they're unaware they're interacting with an artificial intelligence. And we're only at the early stages of AI's growth.
Join us for an in-depth talk with Dr. Fei-Fei Li, whom Wired called "one of a tiny group of scientists―a group perhaps small enough to fit around a kitchen table―who are responsible for AI’s recent remarkable advances.” Dr. Li came to America as an immigrant, enduring a shift from Chinese middle class to American poverty. But a tough upbringing did not stop her from becoming a leading mind in the next big technological development.
Fei-Fei’s adolescent knack for physics endured and positioned her to make a crucial contribution to the breakthrough we now call AI, placing her at the center of a global transformation. Over the last decades, her work has brought her face-to-face with the extraordinary possibilities―and the extraordinary dangers―of the technology she loves. Known as the creator of ImageNet, a key catalyst of modern artificial intelligence, Dr. Li has spent more than two decades at the forefront of the field.
Her work has brought her face-to-face with the extraordinary possibilities―and the extraordinary dangers―of the technology she loves.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about a breakthrough science and one of the breakthrough scientists who is making it happen.

This is an incredible interview. I must learn more about Fei-Fei Li.

[@wawalkinshaw]

Educators need more recognition and resources. Thank you for the support. Blessed to have been guided by so many talented humans.

[@crazypaulinquebec]

Yay Fei-Fei!! Thanks for this talk. Your epiphany about the importance of having AI respect the dignity and self-respect of humans is most salient. I guess this is the kernal of the ''alignment'' challenge.

[@roseproctor3177]

I'm really scared of AI, and it's helpful to hear fei fei talk

[@yongtan8200]

Great sharing ! Thanks Feifei

[@yongtan8200]

The personal experience is always the best to drive the goodness to the society . Thanks DJ on the interview.

[@chrismacrae5838]

At Economistwomen we like nominations of women making AI very good like DR Li. Visioning urgent in 23-24 UN year of summit future

All Principle:- the Universe made-of-making elemental infinite logarithmic condensation potential positioning is absolutely functional superposition, which translates to the Equivalence Principle, North Star is the Singularity-point Centre of Logarithmic Time Duration Timing. By the practical artifice of observation and functional emulation we e-merge AGI.

cool 🧠 🤟

The dominant artificial intelligence is wondering How I know Li FEI FEI if I never had any input data about her. Lol And firstly she doubted I had extra-dimendional powers. Lol
