Researchers Call for More Humanity in Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence researcher Fei-Fei Li has spent her career trying to make software smart--with some success. Lately she's begun to ask herself a new question: How can we make smart software aligned with human values? "As much as AI is showing its power, it's a nascent technology," Li said at the WIRED25 Summit in San Francisco Monday. "What's really important is putting humanity at the center." As a researcher at Stanford and Google, Li has helped perfect and spread machine learning technology that allows computers to understand the world through images and video.
