Stanford University Professor Fei-Fei Li has been at the forefront of artificial intelligence research for 25 years, which is why she&rsquo;s been called the &ldquo;godmother of AI.&rdquo; In this conversation she tells Mishal Husain how she arrived in the US as a teenager after her parents decided to emigrate from China. She also talks about the high school teacher who inspired her and a deep love of physics, leading her to ask what she calls &ldquo;audacious&rdquo; questions. These days, amid her excitement about AI and its potential, she also is focused on what humans must do to build safeguards, and has a message for parents, too.&nbsp; 02:50 -&nbsp; AI is a &ldquo;civilizational technology&rdquo;04:15 - &ldquo;Technology is a double-edged sword&rdquo;05:45 - Being a tech CEO and an academic06:45 - Falling in love with physics08:00 - What is intelligence?08:40 - Finding my first North Star 09:45 - Fei-Fei Li&rsquo;s two key breakthroughs14:52 - Moving from China to the US at 1515:48 - Running the family shop taught me resilience17:30 - &ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t curious about nightclubs&rdquo;18:20 - My inspirational teacher 22:20 - &ldquo;China is a powerhouse in AI&rdquo;23:00 - Creating 3D worlds with AI27:20 - AI and the jobs market28:40 - Are humans going to be replaced? 31:00 - &ldquo;The machine overlord&rdquo;32:45 - What should parents tell their children? 34:40 - The AI bubble36:00 - Powering the big data centres AI needs37:20 - &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not a tech utopian or a dystopian&rdquo;38:00 - &ldquo;My one worry is our teachers&rdquo;39:20 - &ldquo;I&rsquo;m conscious of my responsibility&rdquo;41:28 - Fei-Fei Li believes in timeless human values42:00 - &ldquo;My favourite book these days is Harry Potter&rdquo;Watch this podcast here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe4PRejZgr0Ns_wjGlmjlPz0cded0nTYS">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe4PRejZgr0Ns_wjGlmjlPz0cded0nTYS</a>You can find the written version of this interview with Mishal&rsquo;s notes on Bloomberg Weekend: <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/latest/weekend-interview">https://www.bloomberg.com/latest/weekend-interview</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
