Andrew Ng says this time the hype around artificial intelligence is real Access AI

Artificial intelligence has already been hailed as the fourth industrial revolution and is poised to shake up the global economy. Baidu's chief scientist, Andrew Ng, and chair of the artificial intelligence and robotics department at Silicon Valley think tank Singularity University, Neil Jacobstein sat down with The Wall Street Journal's Scott Austin to discuss the opportunities and challenges of the technology. Whilst many predict that AI will majorly affect the business world in the future, Ng thinks that we are seeing the effects now. "AI is creating a lot of new opportunities. Just as about 100 years ago electrification changed every single major industry, I think we're in the phase where AI will change pretty much every major industry." Citing the decades of hype surrounding artificial intelligence Ng said that it's different this time.
