Fei-Fei Li: Our smartest computers are still blind

We have security cameras everywhere, but they still can’t alert us when a child is drowning, says Fei-Fei Li, associate professor of computer science at Stanford. While humans have used vision to make better sense of the world for millions of years, our machines and computers are still in the dark ages. At “The Future of Artificial Intelligence” partner event of the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Summit, she explains that the daunting task ahead of us is to develop artificial intelligence algorithms to allow our computers to make smarter use of content in images and videos.
