“I believe in human-centered AI to benefit people in positive and benevolent ways…” — Fei-Fei Li

For me it's very important to think about AI's impact in the world, and one of the most important missions is to democratize this technology.

If you were a computer and read all the AI articles and extracted out the names that are quoted, I guarantee you that women rarely show up. For every woman who has been quoted about AI technology, there are a hundred more times men were quoted.

More than 500 million years ago, vision became the primary driving force of evolution's 'big bang', the Cambrian Explosion, which resulted in explosive speciation of the animal kingdom. 500 million years later, AI technology is at the verge of changing the landscape of how humans live, work, communicate,and shape our environment.

From the day an idea is conceptualized to the day the technology is built, carried out, and regulated, it's important to have that human awareness.
