Key ideas from Fei-fei Li

• "ImageNet was the inflection point of big data" - Fei-Fei, combining large datasets with neural networks and GPUs to birth modern AI in 2012
• "50% of US GDP growth is attributed to AI" - unverified claim suggesting AI contributes 2% of the 4% total GDP growth
• Spatial intelligence enables machines to understand 3D worlds and physical interactions, fundamental for robotics and creative applications beyond language models
• "I would not hire any software engineer who does not embrace AI collaborative tools" - Fei-Fei on hiring at World Labs in 2025
• ImageNet required labeling billions of images using Amazon Mechanical Turk, distilled to 15 million high-quality labeled images through crowd engineering
• "People are at the heart of everything" - Fei-Fei argues Silicon Valley focuses too much on tech growth, missing human dignity and agency in AI development
