Embodied AI Is The Next Useful Frontier

Dr. Fei-Fei Li, PhD, is a professor of computer science at Stanford University and a pioneer and expert in artificial intelligence (AI). We discuss how AI can be used safely and effectively to extend human capabilities – not just to search for information but specifically to increase human intelligence and creativity. We also discuss how humans collaborating with AI and robots stand to positively transform human health and one’s experience of life. And we cover what makes AI fundamentally different from human cognition, and why your intuition and unique experiences are not replicable by AI or machines. Both AI enthusiasts and skeptics are sure to benefit from the information and tools Dr. Fei-Fei Li shares in this episode.
