Creator of ImageNet and AI deep learning pioneer
Stanford professor and World Labs co-founder
Founding co-director of Stanford's Human-Centered AI Institute

Dr. Fei-Fei Li is the computer scientist whose invention of ImageNet helped launch the modern AI revolution, earning her the title "Godmother of AI" from the global press. Fei-Fei is the inaugural Sequoia Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, co-founder and CEO of World Labs, and founding co-director of Stanford's Human-Centered AI Institute. Named a 2025 Time Person of the Year and a laureate of the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering, she is also the author of The Worlds I See, a Financial Times Best Book of 2023. Fei-Fei's work sits at the intersection of technical innovation and real-world impact. She created ImageNet, the large-scale dataset widely credited as one of the three catalysts behind the deep learning revolution. At World Labs, she is now building Large World Models that enable AI to understand and interact with physical spaces, with applications spanning healthcare, manufacturing, robotics, and filmmaking. She has advised the White House, testified before Congress, and serves as a special advisor to the UN Secretary General on AI governance. Audiences leave Fei-Fei's sessions with a clear understanding of spatial intelligence and where AI is heading next, practical frameworks for applying AI responsibly within their industries, and an honest assessment of both the risks and rewards of the technology, grounded in decades of frontline research.

Topics, sessions and talks

Spatial Intelligence: The Next Frontier Of AI

The AI systems of today can see, speak, and generate content in the digital realm. The AI systems of tomorrow will understand and interact with the three-dimensional physical world. Dr. Fei-Fei Li, at the forefront of this research, presents the science behind Large World Models and the concept of spatial intelligence: the capacity to link perception with action across complex, real-world environments. With applications spanning healthcare, manufacturing, robotics, and filmmaking, this session positions audiences at the edge of what is coming next.

AI Risks And Rewards: From Possibility To Responsibility

Artificial intelligence is neither inherently beneficial nor harmful; its impact depends entirely on the choices of those who build and deploy it. Dr. Fei-Fei Li cuts through polarized narratives and grounds audiences in what is actually at stake. Drawing on her experience as a researcher, former Google executive, and policy advisor to the United Nations and US Congress, she makes the case that shaping AI with integrity and purpose is the defining obligation of this moment.

The Worlds I See – An Immigrant Story

Behind Dr. Fei-Fei Li's foundational contributions to artificial intelligence is a story of remarkable personal determination. This keynote, based on her critically acclaimed memoir The Worlds I See, traces her journey from China's middle class through American poverty to a position at the forefront of the AI revolution. Fei-Fei speaks to the experience of being an immigrant in America, the challenges of building a career in a male-dominated field, and the work that remains to open STEM to underrepresented groups, leaving audiences with a perspective that is both deeply personal and globally relevant.

Why we recommend booking Fei-Fei

Fei-Fei created ImageNet, the dataset that catalyzed deep learning, and now leads World Labs, building spatial AI systems with direct applications in manufacturing, healthcare, and robotics. Her advisory work spanning the White House to the UN gives her a rare vantage point on both the technical frontiers and governance realities your leadership teams are navigating.
