Renowned computer scientist Fei-Fei Li, whose groundbreaking work on human-centered artificial intelligence has made her a leading voice in the conversation about technology’s role in society, will be the featured speaker at First Year Academic Convocation tonight. Li, who served as a vice president at Google and chief scientist at Google Cloud, will offer both professional and personal insights on the opportunities and challenges of AI—the subject of her 2023 book The Worlds I See: Curiosity, Exploration, and Discovery at the Dawn of AI—to the BC Class of 2028. Li is the inaugural Sequoia Professor in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University, and co-director of Stanford’s Human-Centered AI Institute. A native of Beijing who immigrated to the United States with her parents when she was 16, Li is known as the creator of ImageNet, a key catalyst of modern artificial intelligence. She has described The Worlds I See as “half memoir, half science.” Read more from BC News.
