Fei-Fei Li Watch posted an update
Fei-Fei Li says her route into AI began with a question borrowed from physics: can machines be intelligent? In an interview transcript published by The Singju Post, she describes that curiosity as the thread connecting her studies and career.
Why it mattersLi says she pursued computational neuroscience as well as artificial intelligence during her PhD at Caltech. Her account is a reminder that AI research has long had company from neighbouring fields, not just computer science. It’s a personal reflection, not a new research announcement, but the question that drew Li into AI has hardly gone out of fashion.
Discuss: Should AI research draw more heavily on fields such as physics and neuroscience, or does that risk distracting from the engineering work needed to build useful systems?
