Dr. Fei-Fei Li is renowned for her incredible contributions to the field of AI. But behind her grand successes is a powerful story of overcoming adversity and triumph against all odds. Based on her critically acclaimed memoir, The Worlds I See, this keynote tells the story of Dr. Li’s journey from China’s middle class to American poverty to her position at the forefront of AI today, and her lifelong passion for science that accompanied her every step of the way.
Touching on the struggles of being an immigrant in America, the hurdles involved in breaking into a male-dominated field, the work that still remains to diversify STEM, and ending on a hopeful note, Dr. Li’s story is touching and deeply human.
Artificial intelligence is an incredibly powerful technology, but ultimately, it is morally neutral. Whether it brings humanity into a new era of prosperity or the end of civilization as we know it is completely in the hands of the people using it.
In this keynote, leading AI pioneer Dr. Fei-Fei Li breaks through the noise of utopias and dystopias from both sides of the spectrum and leaves audiences with a message rooted in reality: it is our collective responsibility to ensure AI benefits humanity. Weaving together insights on ethics, governance, and societal impacts, this presentation is an urgent call to shape the course of artificial intelligence with integrity and purpose.
The AI of today can see, speak, and create in the digital space. The AI of tomorrow will be able to understand and interact with the 3D world—just as you can. Renowned AI visionary Dr. Fei-Fei Li is taking us there.
In this keynote that feels like a glimpse into a crystal ball, Dr. Li shares the latest research from her lab and others that are building the foundation for AI-powered spatial intelligence known as Large World Models (LWMs).
More than image recognition and language understanding, spatial intelligence is a complex process linking perception with action that allows humans to assess the many interconnected and nuanced elements of a situation nearly simultaneously and know exactly what needs to be done next. With practical applications as varied as healthcare, manufacturing, engineering, robotics, game design, film making, and more, this developing technology will change the way work is done in almost every industry.
Dr. Fei-Fei Li stands at the forefront of artificial intelligence as one of the most influential figures shaping the future of technology. Often referred to as the “Godmother of AI,” she is the visionary behind ImageNet—the groundbreaking dataset that gave machines the ability to “see,” launching the deep learning revolution that fuels today’s AI applications.

Dr. Fei-Fei Li stands at the forefront of artificial intelligence as one of the most influential figures shaping the future of technology. Often referred to as the “Godmother of AI,” she is the visionary behind ImageNet—the groundbreaking dataset that gave machines the ability to “see,” launching the deep learning revolution that fuels today’s AI applications. From powering tools like Google Lens and DALL-E to enabling the rise of autonomous vehicles and facial recognition technologies, her work has transformed industries and inspired a new generation of thinkers and innovators.
As the co-founder and CEO of World Labs, Dr. Fei-Fei Li is now pioneering the development of Large World Models (LWMs)—AI systems designed to perceive, interpret, and interact with the real world in safe, human-centered ways. A tireless advocate for inclusive, ethical AI, she also founded AI4ALL and co-directs Stanford’s Human-Centered AI Institute (HAI), championing AI that benefits all of humanity. With her rare combination of technical brilliance, visionary leadership, and humanistic purpose, Dr. Fei-Fei Li delivers keynote talks that resonate across industries, bridging science, society, and the future of intelligence.
Dr. Fei-Fei Li’s contributions to artificial intelligence have not only redefined the field but also elevated the global conversation around technology’s impact on humanity. Her seminal work with ImageNet changed the trajectory of machine learning, creating the foundational dataset that made computer vision a reality. Through this innovation, machines were trained to interpret the visual world, catalyzing advancements in automation, healthcare diagnostics, smart cities, and even consumer tech. Her academic rigor is matched only by her visionary foresight, with each endeavor building on her belief that AI should be designed with and for people.
Her leadership at World Labs places her once again at the vanguard of AI’s evolution. By spearheading the development of Large World Models (LWMs), Dr. Li is guiding the shift from narrow AI capabilities to systems that understand spatial and temporal context—essential for robotics, autonomous systems, and advanced human-AI collaboration. Her mission isn’t simply about engineering intelligence, but about creating AI that is safe, inclusive, and aligned with human values. This is a consistent theme in her talks, which elegantly blend cutting-edge research with deeply rooted ethical insights.
Beyond her technological influence, Dr. Li is a force for equity and inclusion in STEM. She is the founding director of AI4ALL, a nonprofit working to increase diversity and representation in the field of artificial intelligence. Her belief in broadening access to the AI revolution has made her a role model, particularly for women and underrepresented minorities in tech. Whether addressing world leaders, Fortune 500 executives, or aspiring engineers, she empowers audiences with a compelling narrative of inclusion and innovation.
As a professor at Stanford University and co-director of the Stanford Human-Centered AI Institute, Dr. Li continues to publish research, advise policy, and shape the academic discourse around responsible AI. Her work has been featured in top-tier scientific journals and covered by major media outlets such as The New York Times, CNN, WIRED, and MIT Technology Review. Her dual role as scientist and humanitarian makes her a uniquely authoritative and trustworthy voice in the global dialogue on technology and ethics.
Dr. Fei-Fei Li is a globally renowned artificial intelligence leader, educator, and innovator. From founding ImageNet to championing ethical AI at Stanford and World Labs, her influence spans research, policy, and industry. As a speaker, Fei-Fei Li delivers unmatched expertise in computer vision, AI ethics, and human-centered innovation—infused with a clear moral compass and visionary foresight.
For event planners seeking a speaker who embodies the future of technology while advocating for humanity’s place within it, Dr. Fei-Fei Li is an ideal choice. Her voice is one of wisdom, urgency, and inspiration—making her an essential presence at any gathering where the future of AI is on the agenda.
