A year ago, the public launch of ChatGPT took the world by storm and it was followed by many more generative artificial intelligence tools, all with remarkable, human-like abilities. Fears over the existential risks posed by AI have dominated the global conversation around the technology ever since. A pioneer that helped lay the groundwork that underpins generative AI models, Fei-Fei Li, takes a more nuanced approach to.

Fei-Fei and her research group created ImageNet, a huge database of images that enabled computers scientists to build algorithms that were able to see and recognise objects in the real world. That endeavour also introduced the world to deep learning, a type of machine learning that is fundamental part of how large-language and image-creation models work.Host: Alok Jha, The Economist’s science and technology editor.&nbsp;Sign up for a <a href="http://www.economist.com/podcastsplus-babbage" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">free trial</a> of Economist Podcasts+.
