Barbara Liskov - the architect of modern algorithms.

The Architect of Modern Algorithm.

"Barbara Liskov pioneered the modern approach to writing code. She warns that the challenges facing computer science today can’t be overcome with good design alone."

She talks about her experience and views of AI, the internet, being a woman in computer science (women being only 1% of the faculty at MIT), winning the Turing award, and discovering your own path.
