Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Fei Fei Li (on a human-centered approach to AI)

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Fei Fei Li (The Worlds I See: Curiosity, Exploration, and Discovery at the Dawn of AI) is a computer scientist, co-director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, and is considered by many to be the godmother of AI. Fei Fei joins the Armchair Expert to discuss her initial reluctance to tell her personal story as a part of her book on AI, starting a laundromat with her parents to support themselves, and the high school teacher that changed the course of her life. Fei Fei and Dax talk about how math is the closest thing there is to magic, why being fearlessly stupid is sometimes the best asset you can have, and the reason her north star is asking the audacious question. Fei Fei explains her perspective on the tech-lash, why there is so much humanness in everything we do in technology, and how essential it is to put dignity into how we both create and govern AI.
