Twitter added a renown expert in artificial intelligence to its board of directors on Monday, in a move that signals the increasing importance that the social media company is placing on AI.
Dr. Fei-Fei Li, a computer science professor at Stanford University and a former VP at Google, will join Twitter's board as an independent director effective immediately, the company announced in a press release.
Li brings significant AI heft to Twitter as it competes for talent in one of the most in-demand fields of technology, along with some of the controversy that has accompanied AI's rising role within the tech industry. Li previously worked as Google's chief scientist for AI and machine learning, where she had been a rising star before leaving amid controversy surrounding the company's contracts to develop AI tools for the Pentagon.
Li's appointment comes at a time when Twitter's AI tools are being put to the ultimate test: policing misinformation around topics like the coronavirus pandemic and the 2020 US presidential elections.
