Pamela first became interested in AI when she was studying at the University of California, Berkeley. She was an English major, but she had a job typing in the business school, which is where she met some of the "fathers of AI". Two assistant professors in the business school who she became acquainted with through her job approached her to see if she could help them work on a book.
