Andrew Ng Launches A Campaign For Data-Centric AI

Data is eating the world so Andrew Ng wants to make sure we radically improve its quality. "Data is food for AI," says Ng, and he is launching a campaign to shift the focus of AI practitioners from model/algorithm development to the quality of the data they use to train the models. Landing AI, the startup Ng founded to bring AI to traditional industries, today announced a competition to get the best performance out of a fixed model by improving the quality of the data. The top three winners will be invited to a private roundtable event with Andrew Ng to share ideas and explore how to grow the data-centric movement. In addition, DeepLearning.AI, an education startup Ng also founded, is launching an online course to teach his data-centric approach to a worldwide audience on Coursera (which Ng co-founded in 2012).
