In computing, the execution of programs written in high-level languages requires that the source code be compiled to a low-level or native language. This compilation is referred to as Ahead-of-Time (AOT) and is typically done during build time. Effectively reducing the work to be done during runtime. In case of Java, the AOT produces an intermediate binary, viz. bytecode, which is then translated to native machine code during execution by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

In a recent episode of High Signal , we spoke with Dr. Fei-Fei Li about what it really means to build human-centered AI, and where the field might be heading next. Fei-Fei doesn’t describe AI as a feature or even an industry. She calls it a “civilizational technology”—a force as foundational as electricity or computing itself. This has serious implications for how we design, deploy, and govern AI systems across institutions, economies, and everyday life.
