Dr. Fei Fei Li: recommendation

16 Nov 2025 Lenny's Podcast The Godmother of AI on jobs, robots, and why world models are next | Dr. Fei-Fei Li

“If you are a nurse, I hope you know that at least in my career, I have worked so much in healthcare research because I feel our healthcare workers should be greatly augmented and helped by AI technology, whether it's smart cameras to feed more information or robotic assistance because our nurses are overworked, overfatigued, and as our society ages, we need more help for people to be taken care of.”

Transcript context

…Wow. I was not aware of all that other work you were doing. As you're talking, I was reminded Charlie Munger had this quote, "Take a simple idea and take it very seriously." I feel like you've done that in so many different ways and stayed with it and it's unbelievable the impact that you've had in so many ways over the years. I'm going to skip the lightning round and I'm just looking to ask you one last question. Is there anything else that you wanted to share? Anything else you want to leave listeners with? I am very excited by AI, Lenny. I want to answer one question that when I travel around the world, everybody asks me is that, if I'm a musician, if I'm a teacher, middle school teacher, if I'm a nurse, if I'm an accountant, if I'm a farmer, do I have a role in AI or is AI just going to take over my life or my work? And I think this is the most important question of AI and I find that in Silicon Valley, we tend not to speak heart-to-heart with people, with people like us and not like us in Silicon Valley, but all of us, we tend to just toss around words like infinite productivity or infinite leisure time or infinite power or whatever. But at the end of the day, AI is about people. And when people ask me that question, it's a resounding yes, everybody has a role in AI. It depends on what you do and what you want. But no technology should take away human dignity and the human dignity and agency should be at the heart of the development, the deployment, as well as the governance of every technology. So if you are a young artist and your passion is storytelling, embrace AI as a tool. In fact, embrace Marble. I hope it becomes a tool for you because the way you tell your story is unique and the world still needs it. But how you tell your story, how do you use the most incredible tool to tell your story in the most unique way is important. And that voice needs to be heard. If you are a farmer near retirement, AI still matters because you are a citizen. You can participate in your community, you should have a voice in how AI is used, how AI is applied. You work with people that you can encourage all of you to use AI to make life easier for you. If you are a nurse, I hope you know that at least in my career, I have worked so much in healthcare research because I feel our healthcare workers should be greatly augmented and helped by AI technology, whether it's smart cameras to feed more information or robotic assistance because our nurses are overworked, overfatigued, and as our society ages, we need more help for people to be taken care of. So AI can play that role. So I just want to say that it's so important that even a technologist like me are sincere about that everybody has a role in AI. What a beautiful way to end it. Such a tie back to where we started about how it's up to us and take individual responsibility for what AI will do in our lives. Final question, where can folks find Marble? Where can they go, maybe try to join World Labs if they want to? What's the website? Where do people go?…
