| book description |

Wired called Dr. Fei-Fei Li â€œone of a tiny group of scientistsâ€”a group perhaps small enough to fit around a kitchen tableâ€”who are responsible for AIâ€™s recent remarkable advances.â€ Known to the world as the creator of ImageNet, a key catalyst of modern artificial intelligence, Dr. Li has spent more than two decades at the forefront of the field. But her career in science was improbable from the start. As immigrants, her family faced a difficult transition from Chinaâ€™s middle class to American poverty. And their lives were made all the harder as they struggled to care for her ailing mother, who was working tirelessly to help them all gain a foothold in their new land. Fei-Feiâ€™s adolescent knack for physics endured, however, and positioned her to make a crucial contribution to the breakthrough we now call AI, placing her at the center of a global transformation. Over the last decades, her work has brought her face-to-face with the extraordinary possibilitiesâ€”and the extraordinary dangersâ€”of the technology she loves. The Worlds I See is a story of science in the first person, documenting one of the centuryâ€™s defining moments from the inside. It provides a riveting story of a scientist at work and a thrillingly clear explanation of what artificial intelligence actually isâ€”and how it came to be. Emotionally raw and intellectually uncompromising, this book is a testament not only to the passion required for even the most technical scholarship but also to the curiosity forever at its heart.
