Fei-Fei Li’s speech demonstrated the profound connection between technological innovation and human needs through her personal growth and her contribution to artificial intelligence (AI). In “The World in My Eyes” and her sharing at the Computer History Museum, Fei-Fei Li talked about how she combined her immigrant experience with technological exploration to promote the development of computer vision and AI. Her work especially focuses on how to make AI more humane, which has important implications for interactive design (IXD).

A key point she emphasized is that AI must serve humans, which made me realize that in IXD practice, design is not just about pursuing functions, but also about bringing more humane interactive experiences. Fei-Fei Li’s development of ImageNet showed how large-scale datasets can provide cognitive capabilities for AI, which inspired me to have a deep understanding of user needs in the design process and prompted me to think about how to better understand user behavior through technology to optimize interactive design.

At the same time, her experience in applying computer vision to various fields such as medical care made me realize that in IXD, designers should not only consider the direct needs of users, but also apply technology to broader social issues to make design more socially influential.
