Fei Fei Li (on a human-centered approach to AI)

Exactly. Which I didn't know it exists. I was in New Jersey, Princeton and trying to pull my hair out. And then some student who did his master at Stanford came to Princeton and just mentioned it casually and said, do you know this thing? That was really, really quite a moment for me.

Not only years and years, the budget. Hiring undergrads or whatever just doesn't cut it. The budget was not going to cut it. My tenure was on the line. It was a dicey few moments.

So it's very important to call out the year. My sabbatical at Google was 2017 and 2018. That was my first sabbatical. I finally had a sabbatical. And it was a conscious decision for me to go to Google because this is right after AlphaGo. So AI was having its first hype wave, at least public moment. And Silicon Valley, of course, was ahead of the curve and new AI was coming.

So I had multiple choices, but I really wanted to go to a place for two reasons. One is to learn the most advanced industry AI, and Google was by far the best. But also to go to a place where I can see how AI will impact the world. And Google Cloud was a perfect place because cloud business is serving all businesses.

So at Cloud, being the chief scientist, I was able to see the technology translating to product and product impacting healthcare, hospitals, financial services, insurance companies, oil and gas companies, entertainment, agriculture, governments, and all that. But in the meantime, it was confirming my hypothesis that this technology has come of age and will impact everyone.
