천재 프로그래머 제프 딘 취재, ‘삽질’로 얻은 ‘AI 근육’ [두런두런 AI ⑲]
This account was written by a reporter named 이주현, who recently had the opportunity to interview a notable programmer, Jeff Dean, at the KDD (Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining) International Conference. The interview took place at the Jeju International Convention Center's Tamar Hall, where over 4,300 people were present. The conference featured Dean's keynote speech on the state of AI and its future implications.
As a reporter, 이주현 had to navigate an environment filled with complex AI terminology and technical jargon. The speech was delivered in English, and with a large audience, it was difficult to keep up with the rapid delivery. 이주현 prepared by using two smartphones - one for simultaneous translation and another for recording. The translation app and voice recorder were set to English, with additional language packs downloaded for Korean and Japanese.
However, despite the setup, the translation quality remained subpar, and important details were missed.
When asked about the experience, Dean, dressed in t-shirts, mentioned that he didn't need to explain anything further. His impact, according to 이주현, spanned both research and real-world systems used by billions of people. Dean, a computer scientist who joined Google in 1999, played a crucial role in transforming Google into a global powerhouse with a market value of over $800 billion in 2026. Dean's speech highlighted his accomplishments at Google and his future plans.
