AI Through a Personal Lens: 'The Worlds I See' by Fe-Fei Li’

This week's read, "The Worlds I See" by Fe-Fei Li, is not just a memoir; it's a journey into the heart of the AI revolution from a deeply personal perspective. Dr. Li's story starts with her immigration to the U.S. and unfolds into her pivotal role in advancing AI technology. Today, we see AI everywhere, even in things as mundane as an Oral-B toothbrush. Yes, Oral-B has an AI-powered toothbrush.

Dr. Li's contributions, especially in image classification, are the backbone of tools we use daily, like Google Photos and Face ID. But this book offers more than just a technical narrative. It's a tale of perseverance against odds, filled with challenges, doubts, and failures. It's about the relentless support of her parents, the guiding influence of mentors, and her bold move at Google to educate over 700 interns about AI's risks and responsibilities.

I had the privilege of virtually meeting Dr. Li in a book club discussion. Her story is not just informative but also inspiring. "The Worlds I See" is a highly recommended read for a unique insight into AI's impact on both technology and personal growth.
