Indians are contributing immensely to global AI ecosystem: Google's Fei-Fei Li - ETtech

Google Cloud's chief scientist of artificial intelligence and machine learning Fei-Fei Li believes that Indians are contributing immensely to the global AI (artifical intelligence) ecosystem. Li, who is also the director of Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab, said she has many close personal mentors who are of Indian origin. "Indian students globally are contributing a lot to AI and some of my close personal mentors are also of Indian origin," said Li, on the sidelines of Google Cloud Next 2018, the company's three-day cloud conference in San Francisco. "So, I think India is contributing a lot to the global AI scene." With fake news coming to the forefront as a major problem, there is ongoing research on how AI could be used to weed it out.
