Andrew Ng is an Adjunct Professor at Stanford University and nothing short of a giant in the data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence world.

For the past decade he’s been shaping the way we live and learn. Four recent examples include:

Co-Founder of Coursera: an education platform that offers online courses from top universities across the world
Chairman of the Board for Woebot: a chatbot that’s currently revolutionizing mental health care
Creator of DeepLearning.AI: a series of specialization courses created to help beginners break into the field of AI
Former Chief Scientist at Baidu AI Group: basically the Google of China

This conversation was recorded in-person with Andrew in his office on Stanford’s campus in Palo Alto, California.

We covered a ton of different topics, including:

the goals of Andrew's new $175M AI Fund
how he plans to revolutionize manufacturing
strategies for ML practitioners to tighten their feedback loop
what differentiates the best businesses like Amazon, Facebook, & Google from the rest in terms of their use of AI
the lack of progress he's seeing toward artificial general intelligence and the so called "technology singularity"
why going to college for 4 years and coasting for 40 years makes no sense in today's rapidly changing world

Enjoy the show!
