The worlds I see : curiosity, exploration, and discovery at the dawn of AI  Cover Image Book Book

The worlds I see : curiosity, exploration, and discovery at the dawn of AI / Dr. Fei-Fei Li.

Li, Fei Fei, 1976- (author.).

Summary:

"The moving memoir of a girl coming of age as an immigrant in America who finds her calling as a scientist at the forefront of the AI/machine learning revolution. Fei-Fei Li is known to the world as the creator of ImageNet, a key catalyst of modern artificial intelligence (AI). But her career in science was improbable from the start. Moving from China's middle class to American poverty, her family navigated the hardships of immigrant life while struggling to care for an ailing mother at every step. However, Fei-Fei's adolescent knack for physics endured, sparking a journey that would lead her to computer science, experimental cognitive science, and, ultimately, the still-obscure world of AI. It positioned her to make a defining contribution to the breakthrough we now call the AI revolution and brought her face-to-face with the extraordinary possibilities-and the extraordinary dangers-of the technology she loves. Emotionally raw and intellectually uncompromising, The Worlds I See is a story of science in the first person, documenting one of the century's defining moments from the inside"--Provided by publisher.
