Title The Next Frontier of AI with Dr. Fei Fei Li

Dr. Fei- Fei Li is the godmother of artificial intelligence. As the creator of ImageNet, the database that taught computers to “see,” she laid the groundwork for modern AI marvels such as Google Lens, DALL- E, selfdriving cars, and facial recognition.
“If we want to advance AI beyond its current capabilities, we want more than AI that can see and talk. We want AI that can do.”
In her current role as co- founder and CEO of World Labs, she’s building the foundation for AI’s next major breakthrough -Large World Models (LWMs) that can understand and interact with the physical world.
A champion for AI that is safe and inclusive, Dr. Li is also the founding co- director of Stanford’s Human- Centered AI Institute (HAI) and the founder of AI4ALL. Dr. Li is the inaugural Sequoia Professor in the computer science department at Stanford University and served as director of the Stanford AI Lab for five years. During a sabbatical from the University, she worked as Vice President and Chief Scientist of AI/ML at Google Cloud.
Acknowledging the potential harm of AI in the wrong hands, Dr. Li has lent her expertise to policymakers nationally and locally to inform proper governance. She has testified before Congress, served as a member of the California Future of Work Commissioner under Gavin Newsom, and contributed to White House technology policy as a member of the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Task Force.
Among Dr. Li’s many awards are the Intel Lifetime Achievement Award, the Thomas Huang Memorial Prize, the National Geographic Society Further Award, and the NVIDIA Pioneer in AI Award. She was named a TIME100 in AI, one of ELLE ’s Women in Tech, a Good Housekeeping Awesome Women awardee, a Foreign Policy Global Thinker, and one of the Carnegie Foundation’s “Great Immigrants".
