my talk I was thinking of I cried that tell you guys about AI or I could tell

tell you guys about AI or I could tell

tell you guys about AI or I could tell you about future problems at AI you

you about future problems at AI you

you about future problems at AI you already must be hearing but what Elon

already must be hearing but what Elon

already must be hearing but what Elon Musk is saying and how to counter him or

Musk is saying and how to counter him or

Musk is saying and how to counter him or I could tell you how I got into AI and

I could tell you how I got into AI and

I could tell you how I got into AI and given that I just had one kid going

given that I just had one kid going

given that I just had one kid going through the college a process I thought

through the college a process I thought

through the college a process I thought that would probably be the most

that would probably be the most

that would probably be the most interesting talk to have here

picture here I really like that picture she looks kind of aggressive and intense

she looks kind of aggressive and intense

she looks kind of aggressive and intense and muscular arms and the process of

and muscular arms and the process of

and muscular arms and the process of getting there

getting there

getting there actually I don’t enjoy that process at

actually I don’t enjoy that process at

actually I don’t enjoy that process at all so Johnny knows that I barely go on

all so Johnny knows that I barely go on

all so Johnny knows that I barely go on my walks so forget about running or

my walks so forget about running or

my walks so forget about running or lifting weights so the process you need

lifting weights so the process you need

lifting weights so the process you need to focus on

to focus on

to focus on do you like the process the doing and

do you like the process the doing and

do you like the process the doing and I’m gonna stop with that because I’m

I’m gonna stop with that because I’m

I’m gonna stop with that because I’m going to start with the find piece so

going to start with the find piece so

going to start with the find piece so I’m gonna start with where I was as a

I’m gonna start with where I was as a

I’m gonna start with where I was as a student in ninth and tenth grade in my

student in ninth and tenth grade in my

student in ninth and tenth grade in my mind I was very clearly going to do

mind I was very clearly going to do

mind I was very clearly going to do medicine around me I grew up in India

medicine around me I grew up in India

medicine around me I grew up in India and around me I didn’t see women doing

and around me I didn’t see women doing

and around me I didn’t see women doing many other interesting jobs but I did

many other interesting jobs but I did

many other interesting jobs but I did see women doctors I was a healthy child

see women doctors I was a healthy child

see women doctors I was a healthy child so usually the interaction with the

so usually the interaction with the

so usually the interaction with the doctor was kind of a happy interaction

doctor was kind of a happy interaction

doctor was kind of a happy interaction I saw happy doctors they world this

I saw happy doctors they world this

I saw happy doctors they world this white thing which kind of looked cool

white thing which kind of looked cool

white thing which kind of looked cool and then I also liked happy babies so I

and then I also liked happy babies so I

and then I also liked happy babies so I put the two together and I said how

put the two together and I said how

put the two together and I said how about a pediatrician and so from sixth I

about a pediatrician and so from sixth I

about a pediatrician and so from sixth I kept telling myself I’m going to do

kept telling myself I’m going to do

kept telling myself I’m going to do medicine and my parents had this you

medicine and my parents had this you

medicine and my parents had this you know you know that proving look they

know you know that proving look they

know you know that proving look they have on that face you know when you say

have on that face you know when you say

have on that face you know when you say I’m gonna do medicine that’s the look

I’m gonna do medicine that’s the look

I’m gonna do medicine that’s the look they had like I was their star child and

they had like I was their star child and

they had like I was their star child and I got 9th grade and I had my first

I got 9th grade and I had my first

I got 9th grade and I had my first physics mechanics

physics mechanics

physics mechanics I don’t want gravity and F equal to Ma

I don’t want gravity and F equal to Ma

I don’t want gravity and F equal to Ma and the pendulum swinging and I wasn’t

and the pendulum swinging and I wasn’t

and the pendulum swinging and I wasn’t particularly good at it but it was

particularly good at it but it was

particularly good at it but it was fascinating I also had a crush on

fascinating I also had a crush on

fascinating I also had a crush on trigonometry around 9th and 10th so so

trigonometry around 9th and 10th so so

trigonometry around 9th and 10th so so here I am in my mind I had already I was

here I am in my mind I had already I was

here I am in my mind I had already I was a pediatrician and I really liked

a pediatrician and I really liked

a pediatrician and I really liked physics and math and luckily for me

physics and math and luckily for me

physics and math and luckily for me around the 12th which is when we give

around the 12th which is when we give

around the 12th which is when we give our common entrance exams and we decide

our common entrance exams and we decide

our common entrance exams and we decide to do medicine engineering whatever you

to do medicine engineering whatever you

to do medicine engineering whatever you decide to do I was still doing bio so I

decide to do I was still doing bio so I

decide to do I was still doing bio so I got into medical school and my dad had

got into medical school and my dad had

got into medical school and my dad had that happy look on his face and I had

that happy look on his face and I had

that happy look on his face and I had the look of I’m not doing it and we had

the look of I’m not doing it and we had

the look of I’m not doing it and we had a chat

a chat

a chat said that I’m going to turn down this

said that I’m going to turn down this

said that I’m going to turn down this admission and I’ll tell you he didn’t

admission and I’ll tell you he didn’t

admission and I’ll tell you he didn’t talk to me for a year because I chose to

talk to me for a year because I chose to

talk to me for a year because I chose to do engineering which was itself a blow

do engineering which was itself a blow

do engineering which was itself a blow and then I chose to do civil engineering

and then I chose to do civil engineering

and then I chose to do civil engineering which was even a bigger blow and I chose

which was even a bigger blow and I chose

which was even a bigger blow and I chose civil engineering because I just

civil engineering because I just

civil engineering because I just finished reading a book where this guy

finished reading a book where this guy

finished reading a book where this guy was an architect and he built all these

was an architect and he built all these

was an architect and he built all these homes and I was fascinated I said I’m

homes and I was fascinated I said I’m

homes and I was fascinated I said I’m going to be an engineer a real engineer

going to be an engineer a real engineer

going to be an engineer a real engineer I got to college and first year in a

I got to college and first year in a

I got to college and first year in a first year we gave our exams all

first year we gave our exams all

first year we gave our exams all engineering students give the same exam

engineering students give the same exam

engineering students give the same exam and so you gave our video finals and in

and so you gave our video finals and in

and so you gave our video finals and in two months our results came out and I

two months our results came out and I

two months our results came out and I had I came first in that university it’s

had I came first in that university it’s

had I came first in that university it’s miraculous so I’m looking at my grades

miraculous so I’m looking at my grades

miraculous so I’m looking at my grades and I’m very thrilled and very happy

and I’m very thrilled and very happy

and I’m very thrilled and very happy about it I’m actually a very optimistic

about it I’m actually a very optimistic

about it I’m actually a very optimistic person about grades and I never get the

person about grades and I never get the

person about grades and I never get the grades that I think I’m gonna get but in

grades that I think I’m gonna get but in

grades that I think I’m gonna get but in this case it kind of had gotten reversed

this case it kind of had gotten reversed

this case it kind of had gotten reversed so I looked at my grades and that year

so I looked at my grades and that year

so I looked at my grades and that year the physics test was very hard so I had

the physics test was very hard so I had

the physics test was very hard so I had aced that test I had an 81 out of 100

aced that test I had an 81 out of 100

aced that test I had an 81 out of 100 which was acing the test next highest

which was acing the test next highest

which was acing the test next highest was 50 and so basically at one subject

was 50 and so basically at one subject

was 50 and so basically at one subject and my favorite math had put me above

and my favorite math had put me above

and my favorite math had put me above all the other students I barely passed

all the other students I barely passed

all the other students I barely passed engineering drawing and so the counselor

engineering drawing and so the counselor

engineering drawing and so the counselor a college counselor took me aside and

a college counselor took me aside and

a college counselor took me aside and said hey we’re looking at your grades

said hey we’re looking at your grades

said hey we’re looking at your grades and the teachers we had a discussion the

and the teachers we had a discussion the

and the teachers we had a discussion the engineering drawing teacher really

engineering drawing teacher really

engineering drawing teacher really thinks you should not be doing civil

thinks you should not be doing civil

thinks you should not be doing civil engineering you don’t have any

engineering you don’t have any

engineering you don’t have any perspective and this he means by

perspective and this he means by

perspective and this he means by perspective so here I am listening to me

perspective so here I am listening to me

perspective so here I am listening to me I’m heartbroken and he says we really

I’m heartbroken and he says we really

I’m heartbroken and he says we really think you should be doing computer

think you should be doing computer

think you should be doing computer engineering and I’m like that’s not

engineering and I’m like that’s not

engineering and I’m like that’s not engineering sitting in front of a

engineering sitting in front of a

engineering sitting in front of a computer I had not even seen a computer

computer I had not even seen a computer

computer I had not even seen a computer so I said no way I’m gonna be a real

so I said no way I’m gonna be a real

so I said no way I’m gonna be a real engineer you know working with machines

engineer you know working with machines

engineer you know working with machines or so so we kind of came to this middle

or so so we kind of came to this middle

or so so we kind of came to this middle ground because the civil engineering

ground because the civil engineering

ground because the civil engineering teachers were rejecting me I chose

teachers were rejecting me I chose

teachers were rejecting me I chose Electrical and I’m into electrical

Electrical and I’m into electrical

Electrical and I’m into electrical engineering and was that

engineering and was that

engineering and was that a good fit for me I went through

a good fit for me I went through

a good fit for me I went through electrical engineering kind of a happy

electrical engineering kind of a happy

electrical engineering kind of a happy kid I got my final year and there was a

kid I got my final year and there was a

kid I got my final year and there was a requirement to take a coding class and

requirement to take a coding class and

requirement to take a coding class and so I took my first coding class in my

so I took my first coding class in my

so I took my first coding class in my final year of college and that coding

final year of college and that coding

final year of college and that coding class required thisis a senior thesis I

class required thisis a senior thesis I

class required thisis a senior thesis I believe you guys have a senior thesis

believe you guys have a senior thesis

believe you guys have a senior thesis but it’s completely different

but it’s completely different

but it’s completely different this thesis was like an engineering

this thesis was like an engineering

this thesis was like an engineering thesis and the the professor in the

thesis and the the professor in the

thesis and the the professor in the computer class he gave me this textbook

computer class he gave me this textbook

computer class he gave me this textbook and he said do you want to work on this

and he said do you want to work on this

and he said do you want to work on this and it was about speech recognition

and it was about speech recognition

and it was about speech recognition getting a computer to recognize human

getting a computer to recognize human

getting a computer to recognize human speech the same way humans recognize

speech the same way humans recognize

speech the same way humans recognize human speech and so I got the book and

human speech and so I got the book and

human speech and so I got the book and as usual like I’m going through this

as usual like I’m going through this

as usual like I’m going through this book

book

book and it’s fascinating I had never thought

and it’s fascinating I had never thought

and it’s fascinating I had never thought computers could do that I thought they

computers could do that I thought they

computers could do that I thought they just added things and I really didn’t

just added things and I really didn’t

just added things and I really didn’t like for loops and while loops and this

like for loops and while loops and this

like for loops and while loops and this was completely different and then

was completely different and then

was completely different and then there’s this chapter on dynamic time

there’s this chapter on dynamic time

there’s this chapter on dynamic time warping which is about dynamic

warping which is about dynamic

warping which is about dynamic programming it’s ingenious and I’m

programming it’s ingenious and I’m

programming it’s ingenious and I’m looking at this and I’m saying okay I’m

looking at this and I’m saying okay I’m

looking at this and I’m saying okay I’m gonna do this I’m gonna build this thing

gonna do this I’m gonna build this thing

gonna do this I’m gonna build this thing now I don’t have a computer did I tell

now I don’t have a computer did I tell

now I don’t have a computer did I tell you that I don’t have access to a

you that I don’t have access to a

you that I don’t have access to a computer so I looked around and

computer so I looked around and

computer so I looked around and everybody says nobody has computers here

everybody says nobody has computers here

everybody says nobody has computers here you know you’ve got to be rich to have a

you know you’ve got to be rich to have a

you know you’ve got to be rich to have a computer so someone gives says that they

computer so someone gives says that they

computer so someone gives says that they had a company they shut down at 7:00

had a company they shut down at 7:00

had a company they shut down at 7:00 p.m. so they’ll give me a computer from

p.m. so they’ll give me a computer from

p.m. so they’ll give me a computer from 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. now this is India

8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. now this is India

8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. now this is India so 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. a girl is

so 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. a girl is

so 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. a girl is supposed to be at home with her family

supposed to be at home with her family

supposed to be at home with her family so when I tell my dad I’m gonna be out

so when I tell my dad I’m gonna be out

so when I tell my dad I’m gonna be out sitting with a computer he is not happy

sitting with a computer he is not happy

sitting with a computer he is not happy at all he’s kind of made you know peace

at all he’s kind of made you know peace

at all he’s kind of made you know peace with this engineering thing now this

with this engineering thing now this

with this engineering thing now this computer thing is really throwing him

computer thing is really throwing him

computer thing is really throwing him off he didn’t talk to me for another six

off he didn’t talk to me for another six

off he didn’t talk to me for another six months

months

months I found a boy who needed tutoring

I found a boy who needed tutoring

I found a boy who needed tutoring he took me at 8:00 p.m. because I needed

he took me at 8:00 p.m. because I needed

he took me at 8:00 p.m. because I needed security 8:00 p.m.

security 8:00 p.m.

security 8:00 p.m. I taught him until 10:00 and from 10:00

I taught him until 10:00 and from 10:00

I taught him until 10:00 and from 10:00 to 2:00 I coded and I fell in love with

to 2:00 I coded and I fell in love with

to 2:00 I coded and I fell in love with AI that was my introduction to AI and at

AI that was my introduction to AI and at

AI that was my introduction to AI and at the end of it I asked my professor how

the end of it I asked my professor how

the end of it I asked my professor how do I study the subject and he said you

do I study the subject and he said you

do I study the subject and he said you have to go to the US and so I gave my

have to go to the US and so I gave my

have to go to the US and so I gave my GRE with a month of preparation and I

GRE with a month of preparation and I

GRE with a month of preparation and I applied to Caltech and they were very

applied to Caltech and they were very

applied to Caltech and they were very kind and within two months they rejected

kind and within two months they rejected

kind and within two months they rejected me so I knew where I stood and so I

me so I knew where I stood and so I

me so I knew where I stood and so I quickly applied to a lot of other

quickly applied to a lot of other

quickly applied to a lot of other schools and bu gave me a full

schools and bu gave me a full

schools and bu gave me a full scholarship I got two other scholarships

scholarship I got two other scholarships

scholarship I got two other scholarships and I came to the US I studied my

and I came to the US I studied my

and I came to the US I studied my masters and I felt I hadn’t learned

masters and I felt I hadn’t learned

masters and I felt I hadn’t learned enough and I got a job after my masters

enough and I got a job after my masters

enough and I got a job after my masters and I turned the job down I did a PhD so

and I turned the job down I did a PhD so

and I turned the job down I did a PhD so I was a student for a long time but I

I was a student for a long time but I

I was a student for a long time but I got into AI or speech recognition I did

got into AI or speech recognition I did

got into AI or speech recognition I did speech recognition for like six to seven

speech recognition for like six to seven

speech recognition for like six to seven years and then I joined Yahoo who hired

years and then I joined Yahoo who hired

years and then I joined Yahoo who hired me to do speech recognition for them but

me to do speech recognition for them but

me to do speech recognition for them but they shut the project down the month

they shut the project down the month

they shut the project down the month after they hired me so they said you

after they hired me so they said you

after they hired me so they said you know we’re forming this machine learning

know we’re forming this machine learning

know we’re forming this machine learning group for online advertising

group for online advertising

group for online advertising do you want to join it so I said sure

do you want to join it so I said sure

do you want to join it so I said sure why not and so I got into speech

why not and so I got into speech

why not and so I got into speech recognition is machine learning but it

recognition is machine learning but it

recognition is machine learning but it wasn’t called that I got into machine

wasn’t called that I got into machine

wasn’t called that I got into machine learning I got an online advertising two

learning I got an online advertising two

learning I got an online advertising two years later they had their first Hadoop

years later they had their first Hadoop

years later they had their first Hadoop cluster they asked me do you want to do

cluster they asked me do you want to do

cluster they asked me do you want to do distributed machine learning distributed

distributed machine learning distributed

distributed machine learning distributed computation I didn’t know her loop

computation I didn’t know her loop

computation I didn’t know her loop I had never programmed in Java but as

I had never programmed in Java but as

I had never programmed in Java but as usual I jumped up very enthusiastically

usual I jumped up very enthusiastically

usual I jumped up very enthusiastically and said yes the songs like again in my

and said yes the songs like again in my

and said yes the songs like again in my mind I always feel that is ingenious and

mind I always feel that is ingenious and

mind I always feel that is ingenious and then I am just caught so I did

then I am just caught so I did

then I am just caught so I did distributed computing and all those

distributed computing and all those

distributed computing and all those experiences essentially led me to where

experiences essentially led me to where

experiences essentially led me to where I am machine learning and in Microsoft

I am machine learning and in Microsoft

I am machine learning and in Microsoft so my journey as you can see is a

so my journey as you can see is a

so my journey as you can see is a sequence of meandering I did a lot of

sequence of meandering I did a lot of

sequence of meandering I did a lot of different things and if you realize many

different things and if you realize many

different things and if you realize many times I focused on the outcome before

times I focused on the outcome before

times I focused on the outcome before the process and luckily the process kind

the process and luckily the process kind

the process and luckily the process kind of dragged me back to what I really like

of dragged me back to what I really like

of dragged me back to what I really like to do but what I want you to take away

to do but what I want you to take away

to do but what I want you to take away from this is that right now you should

from this is that right now you should

from this is that right now you should keep an open mind who you think you are

keep an open mind who you think you are

keep an open mind who you think you are you’re not really that yet so you you

you’re not really that yet so you you

you’re not really that yet so you you you’re going to evolve you’re going to

you’re going to evolve you’re going to

you’re going to evolve you’re going to change and so you need to have an open

change and so you need to have an open

change and so you need to have an open mind about that you have to follow your

mind about that you have to follow your

mind about that you have to follow your interests because it’s the process right

interests because it’s the process right

interests because it’s the process right if you don’t like exercising you’re not

if you don’t like exercising you’re not

if you don’t like exercising you’re not going to look like Hope Solo so the

going to look like Hope Solo so the

going to look like Hope Solo so the process is important and you need to get

process is important and you need to get

process is important and you need to get out of your comfort zone so when someone

out of your comfort zone so when someone

out of your comfort zone so when someone gives you an opportunity to do something

gives you an opportunity to do something

gives you an opportunity to do something that is kind of related to your interest

that is kind of related to your interest

that is kind of related to your interest you should not immediately say no so

you should not immediately say no so

you should not immediately say no so those are the three things that I want

those are the three things that I want

those are the three things that I want you to take away from how I found myself

you to take away from how I found myself

you to take away from how I found myself into AI I’m still studying so when I I

into AI I’m still studying so when I I

into AI I’m still studying so when I I didn’t really learn AI the in how how AI

didn’t really learn AI the in how how AI

didn’t really learn AI the in how how AI is taught today and so I’m behind and

is taught today and so I’m behind and

is taught today and so I’m behind and just like Johnny and Anand have their

just like Johnny and Anand have their

just like Johnny and Anand have their books open I have my books open and

books open I have my books open and

books open I have my books open and often time I’ll be on Chapter seven and

often time I’ll be on Chapter seven and

often time I’ll be on Chapter seven and I realized that I really didn’t

I realized that I really didn’t

I realized that I really didn’t understand Chapter three so I’ll be back

understand Chapter three so I’ll be back

understand Chapter three so I’ll be back on Chapter three and my husband says you

on Chapter three and my husband says you

on Chapter three and my husband says you know maybe after the two of my kids get

know maybe after the two of my kids get

know maybe after the two of my kids get into college maybe I should go back to

into college maybe I should go back to

into college maybe I should go back to college so I’m still learning I’m

college so I’m still learning I’m

college so I’m still learning I’m learning reinforcement learning which is

learning reinforcement learning which is

learning reinforcement learning which is machines teaching themselves and I’m

machines teaching themselves and I’m

machines teaching themselves and I’m learning causal inference this is a very

learning causal inference this is a very

learning causal inference this is a very interesting theory of what if questions

interesting theory of what if questions

interesting theory of what if questions say you know we have all this data but

say you know we have all this data but

say you know we have all this data but that data has biases of all the you know

that data has biases of all the you know

that data has biases of all the you know all the prejudices that already exists

all the prejudices that already exists

all the prejudices that already exists of how things were before and so if you

of how things were before and so if you
