Fei-Fei Li The Worlds I See: Curiosity, Exploration, and Discovery at the Dawn of AI-我所见之世界

这是李飞飞教授对于人工智能的发展一贯以来所持的观点。从少年时期远渡重洋跟随父母来到美国，在陌生的语言环境中卧薪尝胆，到后来不懈努力之下如愿进入普林斯顿大学攻读物理学，再到后期进入斯坦福接触人工智能，此后完全投入这个领域并不断获取新成果，李飞飞的一生都富于挑战且令人钦佩。

11月7日，李飞飞教授在个人社交平台宣布了自著的最新个人传记《我所见之世界：在人工智能黎明时的好奇、探索与发现》（The Worlds I See）出版的消息。

这部由李教授3年前就着手准备的书籍，将她与人工智能邂逅的大半生回忆都囊括其中，揭秘了李飞飞了解AI的全方位心路历程，也为读者阐述了AI会成为当下及未来的必达之标的原因。


书名：The Worlds I See: Curiosity, Exploration, and Discovery at the Dawn of AI《我所见之世界：在人工智能黎明时的好奇、探索与发现》

作者：Fei-Fei Li

简介：The moving memoir of a scientist coming of age as an immigrant in America who finds her calling at the forefront of the AI revolution.

Wired called Dr. Fei-Fei Li “one of a tiny group of scientists―a group perhaps small enough to fit around a kitchen table―who are responsible for AI’s recent remarkable advances.”

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 China’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-Fei’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 possibilities―and the extraordinary dangers―of the technology she loves.

The Worlds I See is a story of science in the first person, documenting one of the century’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 is―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.
