With accolades showered upon them, seemingly perfect educational pedigrees, and conversations focused mostly on their groundbreaking work, it's hard to remember that artificial intelligence (AI) researchers are real people. They're people who take ballet classes as an adult, who suffer from anxiety, and love art. They're also people who feel giddy over fresh flowers, have a difficult time staying organized, and roll out of bed just in time for their first meeting. Devi Parikh, an associate professor in the Machine Learning Center at Georgia Tech (ML@GT) and School of Interactive Computing (IC,) is working to change that with her new podcast and video series, Humans of AI: Stories, Not Stats. The series, which launches on Oct. 20, features 18 conversations with leading AI researchers, including Jeff Dean (head of AI at Google), Animashree Anandkumar (Bren Professor at California Institute of Technology and Director of Machine Learning Research at NVIDIA), Ayanna Howard (School of IC chair and professor at Georgia Tech),and Timnit Gebru (co-lead of ethical AI at Google.)
