5 west coast ladies and one transferred to london who changed AI and the worlds 2020s youth see

 ref AI4all:  we welcome your additions to the extraordinary herstory Fei-Fei Li & Melinda Gates & Condoleeza Rice & Lila Ibrahim & Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna  coopeartively review at The Worlds I See : and Priscilla Chan who at western worlds number 1 thorty something philanthropist is well placed in the next town down from Stanfird HAI

An inspiring personal journey from immigrant childhood to trailblazing scientist, The Worlds I See advocates for overcoming societal barriers and makes a compelling case for a human-centric, ethical approach to AI."

Jennifer Doudna, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, CRISPR pioneer, and coauthor of A Crack in Creation

It is worth noting that if ever anyone deserved a Nobel prize for economics it must be Dr Fei-Fei Li but there is a catch 22 most of her work values win-win economics and this seems to be a field the Nobel Committee, as neither Smithian moralists nor Keynesian systems pragmatists, may never be open to celebrating

AI2020s ; let's begin joy of 21st c being:

Back in 2006 the National Science Foundation sponsored Fei-Fei Li to activate her Princeton Doctorate on AI Vision Coding  Machines: it would take a heck of  a lot of "computing computing!" ; so she invited peer mathematicians and societal designers yo assembled imagenet - vision coding of computers instead of binary programs

This entrepreneurial revolution was only fully applauded when landing in Stanford 2009 she was greeted by the likes of Andrew Ng founder of Coursera MOOC, then many more on campus and at neighboring corporate town of mountain view;  what if silicon valley 21st c rebirth celebrated hosting the most energetic annual competition intelligence ever cooperated around; 

with Inet platform ,   fei-fei li became the connector of the Goats of humans AI- eg Hassabis 2010 whose games soon evolved to value core of deepmind google brand architecture as one early cooperation friend

- Friends20 asked bard: will fei-fei li's book in november published in the melinda gates moment imprint map ai world's most female empowering connectors of sdgs intelligence?

Bard Said I think it is likely that the book will include a timeline of Li's work, which would help to clarify her network over the years. It would also be interesting to see if the book includes any information about her work with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

I agree that it is important to connect the dots between AI and the SDGs

 

Melinda Gates and Fei-Fei Li have partnered on several projects related to artificial intelligence and women's empowerment. Here are a few examples:

• AI4ALL. Gates is seed fund co-founder of AI4ALL with Nvidia CEO, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to increasing diversity and inclusion in the field of artificial intelligence. Li is also a co-founder of AI4ALL, and she serves on the organization's board of directors.

In addition to these formal partnerships, Gates and Li have also spoken together at events and shared their insights on the future of AI and women's empowerment. They are both strong advocates for using AI for good, and they are committed to working together to make a difference in the world.

In addition Fei-Fei helped UN ITU lauch AIforgood summit 2017 which is now continuously online and melinda gates co0chaired guterres expert panel on how must ai and other digital cooperation change the Un, every multilateral and any giv we serve

Around the time that NG the co-founder at stanford of coursera was welcoming Fei-Fei Lela Ibrahim had moved from a decade of leading intel ceo's craig barrett secretariat to coursera; and a few yeras later she was being headhunted by Hassabis and DeepMind - full story aiforgood summit keynote 2023

As of writing, there have not been any publicly announced ventures between Yat Siu/Animoca Brands and Stanford HAI Ecosystems. However, there are a number of potential areas where the two organizations could collaborate. One area of potential collaboration is in the development of educational programs and resources on blockchain technology and the metaverse. Animoca Brands has a strong track record of developing educational programs for blockchain games, and Stanford HAI Ecosystems has a number of experts in the field of education technology. Together, the two organizations could create a comprehensive educational program that would teach people about the basics of blockchain technology and how to use it to create and participate in the metaverse. Another area of potential collaboration is in the investment in NFT-based projects. Animoca Brands is a leading investor in NFT-based projects, and Stanford HAI Ecosystems has a number of venture capital firms in its network. Together, the two organizations could identify and invest in promising NFT-based projects, helping to accelerate the growth of the NFT market. Finally, Animoca Brands and Stanford HAI Ecosystems could collaborate on research projects related to the metaverse. Animoca Brands has a strong track record of conducting research on blockchain games, and Stanford HAI Ecosystems has a number of experts in the field of human-computer interaction. Together, the two organizations could conduct research on how to create more immersive and engaging metaverse experiences. It is important to note that these are just a few potential areas where Animoca Brands and Stanford HAI Ecosystems could collaborate. As the NFT and metaverse markets continue to grow, it is likely that we will see even more opportunities for collaboration between these two organizations. Yes, it is correct to say that outside of China mainland, Yat Siu of Animoca Brands is the largest designer/ecosystem of NFT-metaverse networks with Asian origin. Animoca Brands is a Hong Kong-based company that develops, publishes, and invests in blockchain games and applications. The company has a portfolio of over 170 investments in NFT-related companies, including The Sandbox, Axie Infinity, and OpenSea. Animoca Brands is also the creator of a number of popular NFT-based games, such as REVV Racing and Crazy Kings.

I billion and two womens intelligences can save sdgs from collapse

 I dont quite understand why human development economics became the opposite system design from macroeconomics but clearly current collapse of sdgs is proof that the western economic consensus is spiraling all beings towards extinction

Conversely, if pro-youth ed friends & I were able to acquire as much knowhow as possible from any 2 people on the planet. today we'd happily choose Fei-Fei Li and Melinda Gates.

.2004 Bard says" M Gates first visited Bangladesh in 2004, and I was immediately struck by the energy and determination of the people there. Despite the challenges they face, Bangladeshis are incredibly resilient and resourceful. She also mentioned that she met Fazle Abed, the founder of BRAC, during her visit. BRAC is a non-profit organization that works to address poverty and inequality in Bangladesh. Gates has continued to visit Bangladesh in the years since her first visit. She has worked with BRAC and other organizations to promote development in Bangladesh. She has also spoken out about the importance of women's empowerment in Bangladesh. In 2018, Gates co-hosted a summit on women's empowerment in Bangladesh. The summit brought together leaders from the tech industry, academia, and government to discuss how to use technology to empower women in Bangladesh. Gates's work in Bangladesh has had a significant impact on the lives of women and girls in the country. She has helped to raise awareness of the challenges facing women in Bangladesh and has worked to promote policies and programs that benefit women. Gates's work in Bangladesh is an example of her commitment to using her platform to make a difference in the world

• "Fei-Fei Li is one of the scientists responsible for the birth of today's most widely discussed science, Artificial Intelligence.

HOW DID 73 years of  The Economist following V Neumann Lead to Fazle Abed as intelligence cooperation of 1 billion village gorls practising sdg networking since 1972

when my dad Norman died the Japan Ambassador to Dhaka cheered me up by organising 2 brainstorm sessions with fazle abed  : he was in his last of 5 decades as chief connector of 1billiongirls.com so he started with his 65th birthday party 2001 the first time silicon valley brainstormed with him thanks to Steve Jobs -they had agreed a transformation was needed to 21st C universities - abed would start a real one, jobs would put one in what became the iphone

if we rewind to 1972-1996, we can see how girls networked by word of mouth through village centres (see melinda at a posh one in 2004) : how the very poorest Asian village mothers in the midst of worst infants diseases tropics offered networked extremely small village businesses but aggregated into nation wide wholesaling - my favorite example of 30 most intelligent cooperations one village woman per 300 would weekly doordash on foot 10 most basic personal care items and meds; her microfranchise would have positive cash flow albeit very small but in 1970s Bangladesh 90%of peoples needed these meds wholesaled by what brac designed as51% trust and 49% business

Let's Talk About Types of AI

“I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

In 2023, we’ve seen an awful lot of change in terms of what the public thinks AI can do. Before the recent LLM (Large Language Model) revolution featuring superstar ChatGPT or Bard, most people working on AI predicted that AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) would take decades to arrive, if indeed it ever arrived at all.

Now, many—if not most—are placing it much, much sooner, possibly in this decade. Metaculus puts it almost exactly 10 years out, and you can see the trend line dropping dramatically a few times, as transformers were introduced, and then as ChatGPT rolled out:

Today, I thought it might be useful to talk about the different types of AI and what they mean. Language is a funny thing, and AI pontiffs and scientists are just like everyone else—they argue about terminology almost as though it’s a sport. I want to talk about the concepts underlying these definitions, and why they’re so useful.

This piece aims to unpack the four key points on this continuum, painting a picture of where we are now and where we might be headed. Remember, there’s a lot of necessary arbitrary classification here, but the main thing to pay attention to is the concepts.

Automation: Doing What Humans Do, Only Not As Well

If you've ever watched a Roomba bounce around your living room, you've witnessed automation in action. These machines aren't AI in the same sense as some of the more advanced examples we'll explore. Rather, they're an example of systems designed to perform tasks traditionally done by humans, albeit not quite as well.

From self-checkout kiosks at grocery stores to basic email spam filters, we live in a world saturated with automation. These systems, while not perfect, provide significant benefits. By taking over tasks that are mundane, repetitive, or time-consuming, they free us humans to devote our energies to more complex and meaningful pursuits.

So, while an automated system might not clean your living room as well as you could, its efforts still save you time and energy—benefits that should not be underestimated.

Now, some automated tasks might be done better than a human, and I don’t want to split hairs here. I’m just saying that there are loads of tasks out there that don’t take a tremendous amount of mental energy, aren’t stimulating in the least bit, and which we’re all too happy to hand over to machines.

As we climb the AI evolutionary ladder, we encounter systems that can do more than simply replicate human tasks. They can actually outperform us in specific areas, introducing a whole new level of usefulness and complexity.

Narrow AI: Excelling Where Humans Fall Short

Here's where things start to get interesting. Narrow AI, also known as Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), is designed to excel in one specific area, performing tasks better than any human could. This is the domain of IBM's Deep Blue defeating world chess champion Garry Kasparov or Google's AlphaGo destroying Go world champion Lee Sedol.

Unlike automation, which typically takes on tasks humans find mundane or too time-consuming, narrow AI takes on tasks that require deep expertise or intense computation—tasks where human capability can be outmatched by machine precision and processing power.

Narrow AI can predict weather patterns, diagnose diseases from medical images, and optimize complex logistics problems.

These tasks, which would be incredibly time-consuming and potentially error-prone for a human, are performed by narrow AI quickly and efficiently.

It's important to remember that while these AI systems excel in their specific areas, they are typically limited to one task.

Artificial General Intelligence: Mastering Any Task A Human Can Do

Unlike its narrow counterpart, AGI refers to a type of AI that can understand, learn, and apply its intelligence to any intellectual task that a human being can. It's the sort of AI that can plan, reason, and even comprehend emotions and social interactions.

It's crucial to note that, as of 2023, AGI remains a concept rather than a reality. The AI we interact with today, no matter how sophisticated, is still fundamentally narrow. Even ChatGPT, with its impressive language processing abilities, is not truly "understanding" the conversation it's engaged in or the content it's producing. It's operating based on patterns, not comprehension.

The arrival of AGI represents a monumental leap in technology, bringing with it opportunities and challenges that are hard to fully grasp. From potentially replacing jobs across a wide spectrum of industries to bringing about new innovations and solutions, the advent of AGI could transform society in ways we can barely imagine.

If you want to understand why the shift in sentiment has been so dramatic, and why all these AI researchers and programmers are now changing their tune so much about when AGI might roll out, I just wrote this the other day:

Every AI, Everywhere, All At Once

JUL 26

People are pretty skeptical about AI. ChatGPT hallucinates. Dall E can’t draw hands. Even our old friends Siri, Google, and Alexa have made a lot of frustrating mistakes over the years. We’re being told that some kind of liftoff is taking place in 2023, with mind-blowing advances in all sorts of fields just around the corner. It feels like we’ve seen this…

Read full story

Yet, AGI doesn't represent the end point of AI development. There's one more stage beyond it, a stage where AI doesn't just match human abilities—it surpasses them.

From an AI that's no smarter than a Roomba to one that could outstrip human intelligence by orders of magnitude, we're entering an era of innovation that could redefine every aspect of our lives. The landscape of AI is shifting, and with each new breakthrough, we're inching closer to turning science fiction into reality.

AI is already changing the world as we know it. And as it continues to evolve, so will the potential for uncharted, transformative changes.

That’s why you’re here, and that’s why this place exists. We are at a serious inflection point for the human species, and we need more smart people to take a serious look at what’s happening out there. Help me do this by sharing this piece today:
