Known to the world as the creator of ImageNet, a key catalyst of modern AI, Fei-Fei Li has spent more than two decades at the forefront of the field. But her career in science was improbable from the start. 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 AI actually is—and how it came to be. 

The evening began with a presentation from Dr. Li with highlights from, The Worlds I See. Dr. Li and President (emeritus) John Hennessy engaged in a fireside discussion followed by an audience and question and answer session.
