Praise for The Worlds I See "An affecting memoir ... Her story of
overcoming adversity inspires. This brings new dimension and
humanity to discussions of AI."
--Publishers Weekly "An inspiring personal journey from immigrant
childhood to trailblazing scientist, The Worlds I See advocates for
overcoming societal barriers and makes a compelling case for a
human-centric, ethical approach to AI."
―Jennifer Doudna, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, CRISPR pioneer, and
coauthor of A Crack in Creation "Fei-Fei Li is one of the
scientists responsible for the birth of today's most widely
discussed science, Artificial Intelligence. In The Worlds I See she
gives the best explanation of AI that I've ever read while telling
the story of her own profoundly American journey as a young
immigrant who finds herself through education. This is a
must-read."
―Condoleezza Rice, Director of the Hoover Institution at Stanford
and 66th Secretary of State of the United States. "A remarkable
book from one of the leading scientists in the field of artificial
intelligence. It's both a moving and personal coming of age story
of a young scientist and a riveting narrative that brings the
reader into the earliest days of one of the most consequential
scientific developments of our time. The Worlds I See is a deeply
human story that is ultimately about Fei-Fei Li's lifelong passion
for learning and deep love of science."
―Ed Catmull, cofounder Pixar, bestselling author of Creativity Inc.
"A fascinating and galvanizing memoir, The Worlds I See is a
testament to the power and possibility of humanity--one told
through Fei-Fei Li's own remarkable trajectory from humble origins
to becoming one of AI's key visionaries, and in her essential work
to develop and use that technology to improve the human
condition."
―Reid Hoffman, co-founder of Linkedin and Inflection.AI,
bestselling author of Impromptu "Fei-Fei Li was the first computer
vision researcher to truly understand the power of big data and her
work opened the floodgates for deep learning. She delivers an
urgent, clear-eyed account of the awesome potential--and danger--of
the AI technology that she helped to unleash and her call for
action and collective responsibility is desperately needed at this
pivotal moment in history."
―Geoff Hinton, Turing Award winner, and Professor of Computer
Science, University of Toronto "Readers looking for a portal into a
science that is not often illuminated or connected back to the
human experience may especially enjoy this memoir." ―Booklist
