"In July 2006, I accepted a job offer at Google that brought me into tech after an arts and humanities education. I climbed the ladder at Google to found Google's Open Research Group, working on issues related to measurement, privacy, and AI. In 2016, I cofounded the AI Now Research Institute at NYU, the first university-based research institute to examine broader social and political economic considerations surrounding AI."
"I wake up between 5:30 am and 6 am First, I grab a protein drink and take a shower. I then make my coffee. I have an AeroPress with a hand grinder, and I make a very strong brewed coffee with cardamom. While my coffee is steeping, I do little tasks around the house, like taking out the trash. I put on some dance music to get the energy moving in the house. I also practice yoga every day, with no exceptions; it's my non-negotiable."
