This chapter explores the historical journey of artificial intelligence, tracing its development from early concepts to modern applications. The speakers share personal anecdotes and key milestones, particularly from their time at Stanford, while discussing the implications of large language models in fields like medicine and drug discovery.
Reid reflects on his early exposure to AI as an undergraduate at Stanford and on navigating the space between academia and industry. Plus, he and Aria discuss human outcomes of technology—and how human-centered technologists such as Fei-Fei Li, Mustafa Suleyman, and Kevin Scott have helped him keep those outcomes top of mind.
