Artificial Intelligence Comes of Age
“FEI-FEI LI IS a big
deal in the world of AI. As the director of the Artificial Intelligence and
Vision labs at Stanford University, she oversaw the creation of ImageNet, a
vast database of images designed to accelerate the development of AI that can
“see.” And, well, it worked, helping to drive the creation of deep learning
systems that can recognize objects, animals, people, and even entire scenes in
photos—technology that has become commonplace on the world’s biggest
photo-sharing sites. Now, Fei-Fei will help run a brand new AI group inside
Google, a move that reflects just how aggressively the world’s biggest tech
companies are remaking themselves around this breed of artificial intelligence.”
