Discuss Dr. Fei-Fei Li's The Worlds I See: Curiosity, Exploration, and Discovery at the Dawn of AI moderated by Dr. Albert Hu of the Institute of Responsible A.I. Robotics.  

The Worlds I See is a story of science in the first person, documenting one of the century’s defining moments from the inside. It provides a riveting story of a scientist at work and a thrillingly clear explanation of what artificial intelligence actually is—and how it came to be.

The Institute of Responsible A.I. Robotics (IRAIR) is an independent international organization that has been advancing responsible AI education, and adoption across industries. At this book club, Dr. Hu will invite participants to consider the book’s themes of personal resilience, the joys of learning, the negative consequences of the current AI business model, and therefore, the importance of responsible human-centered AI technology.
