The Worlds I See

Curiosity, Exploration, and Discovery at the Dawn of AI

Beschreibung

Known to the world 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. But her career in science was improbable from the start. As immigrants, her family faced a difficult transition from China's middle class to American poverty. And their lives were made all the harder as they struggled to care for her ailing mother, who was working tirelessly to help them all gain a foothold in their new land.

Rezensionen

Praise for The Worlds I See

"An affecting memoir ... Her story of overcoming adversity inspires. This brings new dimension and humanity to discussions of AI."
-Publishers Weekly

"An inspiring personal journey from immigrant childhood to trailblazing scientist, The Worlds I See advocates for overcoming societal barriers and makes a compelling case for a human-centric, ethical approach to AI."
Jennifer Doudna, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, CRISPR pioneer, and coauthor of A Crack in Creation

"Fei-Fei Li is one of the scientists responsible for the birth of today's most widely discussed science, Artificial Intelligence. In The Worlds I See she gives the best

explanation of AI that I've ever read while telling the story of her own profoundly American journey as a young immigrant who finds herself through education. This is a must-read."
Condoleezza Rice, Director of the Hoover Institution at Stanford and 66th Secretary of State of the United States.

"A remarkable book from one of the leading scientists in the field of artificial intelligence. It's both a moving and personal coming of age story of a young scientist and a riveting narrative that brings the reader into the earliest days of one of the most consequential scientific developments of our time. The Worlds I See is a deeply human story that is ultimately about Fei-Fei Li's lifelong passion for learning and deep love of science."
Ed Catmull, cofounder Pixar, bestselling author of Creativity Inc.

"A fascinating and galvanizing memoir, The Worlds I See is a testament to the power and possibility of humanity-one told through Fei-Fei Li's own remarkable trajectory from humble origins to becoming one of AI's key visionaries, and in her essential work to develop and use that technology to improve the human condition."
Reid Hoffman, co-founder of Linkedin and Inflection.AI, bestselling author of Impromptu

"Fei-Fei Li was the first computer vision researcher to truly understand the power of big data and her work opened the floodgates for deep learning. She delivers an urgent, clear-eyed account of the awesome potential-and danger-of the AI technology that she helped to unleash and her call for action and collective responsibility is desperately needed at this pivotal moment in history."
Geoff Hinton, Turing Award winner, and Professor of Computer Science, University of Toronto

"Readers looking for a portal into a science that is not often illuminated or connected back to the human experience may especially enjoy this memoir." Booklist
