About this book
Fei-Fei Li's memoir of building computer vision as a research field. Li is one of the foundational figures in modern AI — she created ImageNet, the dataset that made deep learning practical, and has been Stanford's leading AI researcher for years. The book is part autobiography, part history of how we got from "AI doesn't work" in the early 2000s to ChatGPT today. A more personal, less scary alternative to "The Coming Wave" if you want to understand the AI revolution through the eyes of someone who actually lived it. Beautifully written, surprisingly emotional in places, and full of the kind of insider perspective that's missing from most AI coverage. Best for readers who learn through stories and want to understand AI's recent history through the lens of one of its quieter pioneers.
