A eureka moment is a two-step process: discovering something new and surprising, and establishing that it is correct. Drawing on her work at Axiom, Carina will discuss the transition from solving mathematical benchmarks to contributing to research, and from proving individual theorems to formalizing mathematical theories in Lean.

Bay Area Tech Economics Seminar with Rehan Khan, Snowflake

Oct 20, 20266:30 PM - 8:30 PM

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.
