She also talks about the high school teacher who inspired her, and her deep love of physics, leading her to ask what she calls “audacious” questions.

  • What is the origin story of the way AI has changed all our lives in the last few years?

  • The conversation you're about to hear is with someone who has seen it all.

  • Someone who has played a really transformative role herself in what is happening around us now,

  • in the development of this transformational technology.

  • She has been called the Godmother of AI, but I think that doesn't fully cover what she has contributed herself,

  • and frankly, I think her work ought to be better known.

  • She is a scientist, a professor, a tech CEO, and someone who has seen hardship in her life.

  • She moved from China to the United States when she was 15 with little English and later ran her parents' dry cleaning business

  • so that she could help her family stay afloat.

  • So, here's my conversation with Dr. Fei-Fei Li on the Mishal Husain show.

  • Dr. Fei-Fei Li, thank you for coming on the show.

  • I'd love to start with this remarkable period for your industry.

  • It's three years since ChatGPT was released to the public,

  • and since then, there've been new vehicles, new apps, huge amounts of investment flowing towards the industry.

  • How does this moment feel to you?

  • First of all, Mishal, thank you for inviting me to this show.

  • Very excited.

  • How does this moment feel to me?

  • It's a good question, because AI is not new to me.

  • I've been in this field for 25 years.
