走出貧窮的學霸 谷歌AI首席女科學家李飛飛

年科學人才。她的故事,也隨著Google重返中國大陸,決定在北京設立人工智慧(AI)研

現年41歲的李飛飛,出生於北京,幼年隨父母在四川長大。16歲隨父母移民美國紐澤西州
,原本屬於小康的知識份子家庭,在美國被迫重新開始。為了存學費減輕父母的負擔,靠
著端盤子、清潔工、收銀員等多種打工,讓她忙得不可開交。在學校受到老師的照顧、加

University)電腦科學系的錄取通知,還提供全額獎學金,讓她得以圓夢進入大學就讀。
大學就讀期間,她仍為了生活而奔波,一到五在學校當學生,等到週末而回家幫忙,並透

華爾街(Wall Street)的大熱潮,高盛、麥肯錫公司等投資銀行都向她送出邀請,但她
卻毅然做出了令人驚訝的決定:放下一切、遠赴西藏學習藏藥,並在當地待了一年的時光
。追求夢想後返回美國,李飛飛進入加州理工學院(California Institute of
Technology),攻讀人工智慧和計算神經科學領域的博士學位。
取得博士學位後,獲得保羅與黛西獎學金(Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New
Americans, USA.)的支持,於2009年加入史丹佛大學(Stanford University)電腦科學
系,並在4年後獲得終身制的副教授榮譽。李飛飛的研究領域主要為電腦視覺、認知神經

奧薩瓦(Silvio Savarese)教授,兩人現育有兩名子女。
隨著人工智慧的快速發展,不少校園的人才也紛紛被挖角至實業界。而李飛飛也因為休兩
