[Lenny Rachitsky @lennysan]

Dr. Fei-Fei Li (@drfeifei) is known as the “godmother of AI.”

For the past two decades, she’s been at the center of AI’s most significant breakthroughs, including:
- Spearheading ImageNet, the dataset that sparked the AI explosion we’re living through right now.
- Leading work at Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL)
- Serving as Chief Scientist of AI/ML at Google Cloud
- Co-founding Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered AI
- Serving on the United Nations AI Scientific Advisory Board
- Being named as Time's 100 most influential people in AI

In this conversation, Fei-Fei shares the rarely told history of how we got to today—and what comes next.

We discuss:
🔸 The backstory on ImageNet
🔸 Why robotics faces unique challenges compared with language models and what’s needed to overcome them
🔸 Why Fei-Fei believes AI won’t replace humans but will require us to take responsibility for ourselves
🔸 Why world models and spatial intelligence represent the next frontier in AI, beyond large language models
🔸 The surprising applications of Marble, from movie production to psychological research
🔸 How to participate in AI regardless of your role
🔸 Much more

[Magic Leap @magicleap]

COVID-19 has caused more employees to work remotely. @mobileomar sat down with @emilychangtv and @edhammondNY to talk about how spatial co-presence enables business continuity in uncertain times (spoiler alert: he reveals some new Magic Leap 2 details). https://t.co/zd7jh2OVWs
