Summary

Fei-Fei Li is widely known as the godmother of AI, thanks to her groundbreaking research in the field. You can draw a straight line from her early work to the generative AI of today. Now, she's at the forefront of what comes next, which includes bringing together generative AI and robotics for use across industries. Niala visited Dr. Li's lab at Stanford last week and spoke with her about the very latest applications of AI, and what's at stake in their development. Guests: Dr. Fei-Fei Li, professor in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University and co-director of Stanford's Human-Centered AI Institute; Ryan Heath, Axios global tech correspondent and co-author of Axios AI+ Credits: 1 big thing is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Alexandra Botti, and Jay Cowit.

1:49.5	and how you taught machines to essentially see the world around us. How did that work?
1:54.0	Yeah, well, ImageNet was the project was started in 2006 and the milestone kind of got achieved in 2012 and now it feels ancient times in AI timeline.
2:10.0	And that was an era that it was pre-deep learning.
