After watching Fei-Fei Li’s presentation, I was struck by her personal story, from struggling as a Chinese immigrant in the U.S. to becoming a leading figure in artificial intelligence. Her journey shows how personal experiences can shape one’s approach to technology. Li emphasizes the importance of human-centered AI, ensuring that technology works ethically and benefits society.

What I learned is how AI is not just about algorithms but about designing systems that understand and interact with humans in meaningful ways. This insight is vital for interaction design, where empathy and user experience are key. Li’s focus on ethics and inclusivity in AI pushes me to think more critically about the long-term impact of the designs I create, especially as AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives.

This presentation reinforced the idea that interaction design should not just focus on how humans interact with technology today but also on how future innovations, like AI can be built to enhance human values and equity.
