People ask me why dont i put fei-fei li in my top 3 ai wizrads (Huang & Hassabis & Musk)Thats because currently she's not directly in the middle of changing intelligence paryners of every trilliuon dolar market and of every doiscipline you practice at college or question at high school
what only fei-fei loi did was organise a team preparing 20 million data images as input to training a machine. today's chats etc would not exist withouit her prrof of worldwide connection of machine intelihgenec imagenet 2009-2012; in 2012 alexnet using nvidia and neural network algorithms showed machines could learn (eventually all 5 human senses); while ventuyre capitalist piled into startups including deep mind and anyone demanding nvidia chipa, li was sponsored by melinda gates and jensen huang to stat aiforall -
Nobody had ever spent that much time perparing data and 99% of her acadcemic connections told her to go away. Fortunsatley stanfird gave a homne to her project at just the right time 2009 when jensen huang was looking for proof that machines could learn more than pixel intelligence (for games, for films rendering, for radiologists) the 3 professional revolution yjay nvodia engoneers of accelerated compuring e and partners including steve jobs focused on 2002-8 to checkly weekly youtubes with.
what happened between 20114-19 is very detailed
li developed about 10 learning modules
2015 nvidia foirfst superchip customer was elon musk who with nvidia was into slef driving platforms (as well as tesla); ultimately hbuang and fei-fei li agtreed that if self driving cars were doorway to humanoids all mobiule autonomoys machines - satefty depended on acceleratying machine learning of asll 5 senses
melinda gates and fei-fei li persent aiforgpod at UN ITU - important as the itu was most reponsible for teh standards of million times more data distribiution through clouds and mobile and satellites aka 1g to 6 g - the li-gates map tranformed education linhing ai for good to chnaginging every way students times is spent; every wy teachers time is spen; universal connectivity of educational spaces locally and globally; understanding how to code world deep data;
around 2018 fei fei spent a hear interning ans chief scientist for google cloud- she learn that million times more energy was being put into chat and announced this see cspan congress 2018 - her advice every countru needs a national ai resource to value - integrate its data and cultuyral sovereignty especiually as chats arfe very good at translating languages
althoujgh li could see that ai innovation needed comong of huge supercomputers of corporate and government syndicates she decided to return full time to stanfird to launch HAI humans ai - at same time she had started doing deep coding of humanoids in emergency care sections of hospitals- partly vecause her mom sp-ent a lot of time needing surgfery; in othyer words li is doing deep work on phuysical ai - the final frontier before human oids
jensen haung sugest we all rewwind 2002-2025
2002 start coding pixels insteag of just 0.1
find first applications (radoiiology) of ai visuall pattern recognition
yangs start transfering yahoo momney to buiuliding inetediciplinary enngineering labs at stanfird engineering quadrangles and encouarinding women engineers - eh bioenngigeer daphne koller who also founded moocs with andrew ng and was probably p-art of welcoming poarty to lei' arrival in stanfird 2009 having been told bt princeton and chicago that her 20 million database project was useless
fortunatley hjensen haung heard of both hassabis project (demis had been sosored by ukl roay society of neuroscience garsby to spend time in valley) as well as fei-0fei li- thus he bet nvi9idia on being ai compoany starting with coding data for 5 human senses as well as supporting hassabis pattern gamesd with their own international competition leading to datamapping all 250 million proteins
to make things more complex covid came and fei-fei li was encoura=ged by stanfird and melinda gates to write worlds I see ass an empotional women empoiwermenjt book not a maths book which she had drafeyted- remember rougly her supoerbrain landed as a chinese speaking immigrant in new jersey 2015; first her hish school taught her engliis and maths to get a scholarship at princeti=on where she studied endineering and then took a phd trying to connect pyscholgist who didnt use comouters with digiatl neurscaience- whence her idea that teh same 20000 identities chiense language teaches kid to learn first if duplicated 1000 times each could be the gateway database to asll machine learning of human communication and intelligence mapping
what is stanford ecosystem
in middle ofc santa clara and valley to south
on bay of san francisco
with berkeley (the origin of all caligotnia university systems and indded the country's only educational instiutions that prepare engineering studnents to go fra beyond what their academic professors can venture into) and the nations' lead supercomputers of eneregy and eistein maths to the north
overlalping trading ecosystems of moores law between west coats usa and the double east coasts of asia starting with japan kore taiwan hk singpaore with 20 million people of taiwan the integral ecosystem of all asia advnaced manufactuting an dintelligence supply chinad rising
stanford itself is also a strange ecosystem - the university, the busienss park, and thye new town of moutian view alongside the old town of palo alto- all 30 miles removed from the hub-bub of sanfrancisco or the valley offices that now stream (south) down nvidia highway the way compnies once streamed north of intel in center of santa clara
its fascinating to understand alumni of stanford and the valley
re,ember the pc revolution was started by steve jobs who only did one yera at a university but linked a lot of valley garages in desigining machard and soft and harvard dropout steve jobs who designed op susytuystem of east coast imp pc and settled in seattle
who then are the stanfird region alumni og mooresd law
moore intel and hewlett packard (perhaps forst company to moutain view and stanfird business park alosgside xerox p-ark)
steve jobs
from the 1990s the taiewanese american hunag 93 and yang 1997 soon followed by founders of google and then of meta (meanwhile from 1994 bezos was hollowing out communities with ecoomerce out of seattle)
there were of course b2b of pc and before mobile cloud age but pixel coding fromlear run with nvidia
