Geoffrey Hinton in conversation with Fei-Fei Li

In honour of Geoffrey Hinton winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, we bring you an exclusive Radical AI Founders Masterclass talk between, Geoffrey Hinton and Fei-Fei Li, hosted and moderated by Jordan Jacobs, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Radical Ventures. The conversation marked the first time Geoff Hinton and Fei-Fei Li have shared a stage, and featured a dramatic recounting of the 2012 ImageNet competition when their professional careers first intersected. It was a pivotal moment in the history of AI, when neural networks proved capable of ‘solving’ computer vision. Recognized as the “godfather of AI,” Hinton candidly voices his apprehensions about the unforeseen challenges of advanced AI, including concerns that innovations could one day yield superior intelligence. However, Hinton also noted that he believes his message of caution is getting through. Li, a Stanford University Professor, Co-Director of Stanford’s Human-Centered AI Institute (HAI), and Radical Ventures Scientific Partner, stressed the need for responsible AI stewardship through human-centred approaches, while grounding the conversation in a sense of optimism about its potential. The discussion was held in front of a live audience at the University of Toronto.
