Dr. Fei-Fei Li, often hailed as the godmother of artificial intelligence, has shaped the modern AI landscape through her pioneering research and advocacy. As the creator of ImageNet, the dataset that taught computers to “see,” she laid the foundation for today’s AI marvels—Google Lens, DALL-E, self-driving cars, and facial recognition. Now, as co-founder and CEO of World Labs, she is advancing the next frontier: Large World Models (LWMs) capable of understanding and interacting with the physical world.
A champion for safe, inclusive, and human-centered AI, Dr. Li is also the founding co-director of Stanford’s Human-Centered AI Institute (HAI) and the founder of AI4ALL, a nonprofit expanding AI education for underrepresented groups. Her work combines technical breakthroughs with advocacy for ethical development, urging policymakers, businesses, and scientists to wield AI responsibly. She has advised the White House, testified before Congress, and served as a California Future of Work Commissioner under Governor Gavin Newsom.
Her acclaimed memoir, The Worlds I See, chronicles her journey from middle-class China to American poverty to global AI leadership. Named a Financial Times Best Book of 2023 and one of Barack Obama’s recommended AI reads, it blends immigrant resilience with an insider’s view of AI’s rise.
Dr. Li is the Sequoia Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, former director of the Stanford AI Lab, and past Vice President and Chief Scientist of AI/ML at Google Cloud. She has published over 300 scientific papers, and her lab’s work has appeared in Nature, Science, The New York Times, and more.
Her honors include the Intel Lifetime Achievement Award, NVIDIA Pioneer in AI Award, and election to the National Academy of Engineering, National Academy of Medicine, and American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
