got more and more interested in finding ways for people to be able to interact with machines in natural ways and making that interaction deeper and richer. That is what moved me from computer vision to the intersection of vision and language and sort of a lot of the multimodal capabilities in these AI models, looking at how we can use AI for enhancing human creativity. That is what got me interested in AI for creativity, generative models for images, for video, which is what sort of led to this intersection with the GenAI excitement. A lot of the work that we're doing now feels like it's in continuation of that story. Your word for the little Devi who arrives in the US at 17, a little word of positive advice. I think back then, I wouldn't have even considered the possibility that I could be in the positions that I've been in; that I could be doing the kind of work that I've done. That was not even within the realm of imagination! If at the time someone had asked me what's the best case scenario, I probably wouldn't have thought of this. So maybe just telling that to my younger self: to try and broaden the horizon of possibilities, that I have a very narrow view of the world and there's much more beyond it that's possible!
