Even the ‘godmother of AI’ has no idea what AGI is

Fei-Fei Li questions AGI while leading AI advancements and advising on regulations.

: Fei-Fei Li, known as the 'godmother of AI,' admits uncertainty about AGI during the Credo AI summit in San Francisco. Despite her pivotal role in AI's development and her new startup World Labs, Li remains skeptical of the concept of AGI. The discussion included her views on AI regulation, intelligence, and the recent California AI bill. She also emphasized the need for diverse AI development and aims to advance 'spatial intelligence.'

Fei-Fei Li, renowned for her accomplishments in AI, says she doesn't fully understand AGI during a chat at the Credo AI summit. Despite her influential work, including founding ImageNet and serving at Google Cloud, the concept of AGI remains ambiguous to her, just as it is to many others.

During the discussion, Li addressed the importance of creating balanced AI regulations without hindering technological innovation. Using the analogy of car regulations, she suggested that instead of punishing technologists, we should focus on effective regulatory frameworks, similar to seatbelts or speed limits in cars, to ensure AI safety.

Additionally, Li highlighted her ambition with her startup, World Labs, particularly in developing 'spatial intelligence.' Emphasizing diversity in AI, she asserted that a broader range of human intelligence can guide the creation of more advanced and varied artificial intelligence.
