Live from Paris, at the #ParisAISummit . I gave the opening keynote about AI’s past, present, future and opportunities. “75 years ago, Alan Turing dared humanity to imagine ‘thinking machines’. But perhaps that vision is too narrow and inward-looking. As AI today is poised to become both thinking and doing machines as we unlock language, spatial and embodied intelligence, we should consider a new dare to all of us - a dare to build human-centered AI to empower and augment people.” 1/NImage The Vice President of USA @JDVance just gave a historical speech about being all in in AI minutes ago. I have been hearing AI speeches by heads of state for more than a decade, this is the most forceful speech about the present “opportunities” in building AI, to embrace it to help people and lift society, and to unleash the potential in this profound technology. 2/NImage

Spatial Intelligence is a critical piece of the AI puzzle. This is my 2024 TED talk about the journey from evolution to AI, on how we build Spatial Intelligence. "Sight turned into insight; Seeing became understanding; Understanding led to action. All these gave rise to intelligence." 1/
?ted.com/talks/fei_fei_… Three power forces ushered in the Age of Modern AI about a decade ago: A family of algorithms called Neural Network; Fast, specialized hardware called GPUs; Big data, like the collection of 15 million photos my lab spent years curating called ImageNet. 2/ Image

After 3+ years, today is the day that my book “The Worlds I See” gets to see the world itself. It is a science memoir of the intertwining histories of me becoming an #AI scientist, and the making of the modern AI itself. All versions are now on Amazon 1/ a.co/d/fYKf74L
Image This book is about curiosity, passion, discovery, resilience, courage, responsibility, and above all, love. I hope this book reminds all of us that it’s humanity itself that is behind the creation, application and governance of this powerful technology. 2/ nytimes.com/2018/03/07/opi…

My public conversation with @geoffreyhinton earlier today at @UofT covered a wide range of topics, moderated by our wonderful friend @JordanJacobs10 . We discussed the early history of ImageNet and AlexNet moment, 1/ our intertwined scientific journeys towards the dream of building an intelligent machine and unleashing the deep learning revolution in 2012, the ten years between 2012 and 2022 where we saw the unfolding of the powerful AI technologies as insiders, and… 2/

V. proud that our @StanfordSVL has 9 papers accepted by #CoRL2021! “Seeing is for doing.” Computer vision & robotic learning are deeply intertwined areas of research as we work to understand and build active & learning AI agents to interact in &w/ the real world. Enjoy below:) 1/ iGibson2.0 is a robotic learning environment that enables next generation simulation and benchmarking of robotic learning, and human-robot interaction tasks. 2/
