　　華裔美國科學家李飛飛（Fei-Fei Lee），青少年時期隨父母移民美國，她高中時就展現在科學領域的天賦和熱情，雖然家中承受經濟壓力，她一邊打工賺取學費、一邊認真求學，最後獲得普林斯頓大學全額獎學金，並在33歲成為史丹佛終身教授，實現了「美國夢」。
 
　　成為學者的二十多年來，李飛飛來一直站在AI領域的最前線，長期任教史丹佛大學，矽谷科技公司裡遍布她的學生。她曾任Google首席科學家、Twitter獨立董事，現為ImageNet大型圖像資料庫的首席科學家和首席研究員，名列時代雜誌人工智慧領域百大影響力人物。
 
　　這本回憶錄以第一人稱視角，分享李飛飛身為移民，如何克服貧窮和語言隔閡，在逆境中成長的故事，紀錄她如何力拼頂尖學府，成為一流科學家的心路歷程。
 
　　這位滿懷好奇心的頂尖學者，也藉由這本書，帶領讀者從內部視角見證這個世紀最重大、具突破性的科學發展，清楚說明人工智慧究竟是什麼、人工智慧的探索和應用、其驚人的潛力和風險，並闡述AI「以人為本」的初衷。(文/博客來編譯)

＂Fei-Fei Li is known to the world as the creator of ImageNet, a key catalyst of modern artificial intelligence (AI). But her career in science was improbable from the start. Moving from China’s middle class to American poverty, her family navigated the hardships of immigrant life while struggling to care for an ailing mother at every step. However, Fei-Fei’s adolescent knack for physics endured, sparking a journey that would lead her to computer science, experimental cognitive science, and, ultimately, the still-obscure world of AI. It positioned her to make a defining contribution to the breakthrough we now call the AI revolution and brought her face-to-face with the extraordinary possibilities--and the extraordinary dangers--of the technology she loves＂--

Fei-Fei Li is a computer science professor at Stanford University and co-director of Stanford’s Institute for Human-centered AI as well as a founder and chairperson of the board of nonprofit AI4ALL. She is an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering, National Academy of Medicine, and American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
