When it comes to artificial intelligence (AI), few people can match Andrew Ng's breadth and depth of experience, combining research in a world-leading academic environment, accelerating AI education (one of his courses really helped me when I was breaking into AI myself) with founding AI teams at some of the most successful tech companies. Ng lead the Stanford AI Lab, was a founding leader at Google Brain where he worked with legendary engineer Jeff Dean, lead AI at Baidu, and currently serves as an adjunct professor in Computer Science at Stanford University. Among Andrew's other pursuits: being the founder of deeplearning.ai, In a recent episode of the Intel on AI podcast, Ng and host Intel's Abigail Hing Wen discuss why most of the important work yet to be done with AI is in industries outside of Silicon Valley, such as manufacturing, agriculture, and healthcare. Ng sees AI as driving huge growth for successful adopters, to the point where he sees a need for society to be prepared to offer additional support to workers in disrupted industries.
