Andrew Ng: Opportunities in AI - 2023

It is so COOL that I can watch a Stanford University presentation while eating a bag of chips in my living room. What a time to be alive.

"AI is the new electricity" the best quote of the century! Great Prof. Andrew Ng

This man is the reason I fell in love with complex topics like Artificial Neural Networks in AI. He is hero for all AI lovers.

Andrew Ng is a hero, he's the reason why I started studying ML. I love his humble and clear teaching style. He makes any topic seem understandable.

We need more people like Andrew Ng in this world, very inspiring and helpful.

Andrew Ng is awesome on multiple levels. I'm always a bit smarter each time I listen to him.

This dude deserves noble prize

As a computer scientist (with a degree from Stanford, actually), I can confirm this is an impressively lucid summary of the complex developments in AI over the last few decades. He skips over a lot of details (breakthrough architectures, hardware advances, arguments around how to test AI, ethical dilemmas behind training data sources, etc), but he still manages to trace the high-level contours that really matter.
I'd add though: the single biggest opportunity in AI is to think more critically about how to use it in ways that uplift our communiites, rather than to do things like exploit the psychology of children to sell ads. This is something that requires all of us.

His contributions to AI and making learning accessible to all will never be overlooked. He has earned his name on the AI Hall of fame. Sir, thank you for your selflessness ! I sign for a pause in training of large AI models but I still trust your judgment.

If you happen to read this keep going... You have the strength to overcome any obstacle. Celebrate your victories, no matter how small, and be kind to yourself. Your journey will lead you to a brighter tomorrow! 🦋🦋🦋

Very concise and well laid out presentation. Any beginner who wants to take their first step into AI will benefit from this

A sign of supreme intelligence is the ability to discuss complex in very simple terms and this guys does it (apparently) so effortlessly. Brilliant and insightful lecture - I have been ruminating on the “scale” problem for many years but thought it is just because I’m not a computer scientist and didn’t really understand. His views about domain expertise totally resonated with me. Thank you.

Thank you for the insights and inspiration, Mr. Ng. Thank you for the Coursera course which was a true eye opener to the power of AI for me. What a talented, humble and ethical person!

Andrew, thanks so much for discussing AI in such and easy way to understand. My team has been working on similar ways to bring inspiration to travel over the last 4 months. You are spot on. Thanks and look forward hearing more - Kirk

He definitely changed my life 😅 I am an MLE now cause of him.

Thank you for sharing Dr. Andrew Ng's speaking. I took his AI and data-science classes, and they are with top-notch contents. Amazing

Thank you for sharing your knowledge to everyone 🎉

Andrew Ng is Great ! and more to come ! It has been a highly informative and envisioning Presentation I have ever heard ! Thank you Stanford for making it accessible to everyone across the Globe. 🙏

Thank you for imparting your knowledge Andrew! Thanks Stanford Online for uploading the content too.

Andrew has changed my life. My journey to learn AI started with Andrew.

I always love to watch Andrew Ng videos.

Thank you for sharing this one! I enjoyed your discussion of when to build and how to consider the idea.

Absolutely fascinating talk, Andrew!
Your vision of "Data Centric AI" and the gradual, responsible development of AI technology is a powerful reminder of AI's potential to be a force for good. It's inspiring to think of AI not as a threat, but as a tool that can help us tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our times.

My Super hero and AI hero, thanks so much for all your wonderful courses, documents, etc!

such a bright and humane person… enjoyed every minute of his talk

I am loving to see that how calm and Serene this guy is while giving a concept.

It is a pleasure and a relief to have people like that, with so much experience and achievements without losing a bit of humility and responsibility. I think he is and will always be, at least for me, one of the best references in this and many other fields, we are really lucky that we have people of that level. A big hug

Such a pleasure listening to your amazing brilliance your calming demeanor and charisma in explaining AI
Thank you for your
precious precious time We truly appreciate you

Andrew is really a source of inspiration. Thankyou

I took some Coursera´s courses and Mr A. NG was the instructor, He has a great way for teaching

Wow. Andrew is a genius. His ability to articulate and make relatable such a complex topic stood out for me more than his undeniably solid knowledge of it. Thank you for this🙏

While Ng makes great courses, a crucial point in the AI landscape he failed to mention is access to data. In this example of AI Tinder, one cannot build that without multiple data points and practically anyone can build one if they have access to it. The competitive advantage most companies have is the data they use to train the models and access to GPUs which overall makes it a difficult industry to break into.

This is the master who can describe difficult things so easily understandable!

His stand on ethical grounds and serving humanity with technology is what makes him a great person.

Your ability to break down complex concepts into simple terms is impressive. Thank you so much for explaining AI and its applications in multiple business layers.

Truly an inspiration and reason to love learning AI

Dr. Andrew Ng is amazing! I wish I could get his autograph.

Elegant distillation of a complex topic✨

Wonderfull lecture by andrew, 20 mins i am into video. I don't fill boring or obsessed. Learned alot, begginers friendly lecture delievered in a excellent way.

I struggled most with textures in my 3D art. Now I can just prompt whatever I need! It’d amazing!! I’m so much more productive when I don’t have to worry about painting/drawing every detail!!!!

One of the feature is intelligence is the ability to explain complex topics in simple words. In this presentación Andrew Ng showed the present and near term future of AI in such simple terms that it is very comprehensible for people in non tech fields. He also clearly summarized the entries to the system.
I am very interested in exploring the landscape of education that is untouched but could be greatly enhanced by AI.
Thanks!

Thank you, Andrew! Very inspiring!

Andrew Ng has excellent ability to explain complex AI topics in concise and layman terms!

Алиша, ты лучшая!!! Я влюбился в тебя, в твои уроки. Огромная благодарность тебе за твою жизнерадостность и любовь к своему делу!

It would have been interesting to have the Q/A included. Great talk.

Great talk, Andrew is the goat 🐐

Excellent talk. Thanks!

Andrew is one of goats in AI, thank you for your dedication and hard work

Andrew is the complete sauce of being extremely good at theory and extremely pragmatic guy. I am so fascinated. A true inspiration for me

Very thoughtful talk and easy to follow, love it

Brilliant thinker and very personable. Great talk.

His ways of explanation are top notch❤💯

The idea of generative AI with long tail business is very impressive. Thank you, Andrew.

This man strikes me as a very brilliant person. Kudos man, so effortless in his speech, very highly captivating.

I can listen to him talk all day.

Simply amazing. 10:45 literally inspired me to write a whole python package to make this logic available to data analysts/scientists/engineers more widely (called dpq on github/pypi).

Excellent presentation! I'm glad that I found it.

Thank you for sharing 💙

He seems like a very kind man. I like his thoughts around AI, I find myself aligning with his line of thinking as to all the hype that's going on at the moment.

Thanks for the explanation

Really the first realistic overview I've seen in the echo chambers of KRplus, especially at the end. Thanks for that!!! In my opinion, the biggest problem is the use of all our collected data by the internet giants for commercial purposes. Because they now own the hardware layer, the API layer and the data sets to train the AI. That's a big difference from the past, when it was much harder to achieve a concentration even in one sector.

thanks for spreading so valuable thoughts

Andrew Ng is the only one putting out real, usable info on AI on a regular basis. His newsletter on AI delivers news as soon as it happens. I feel like he somehow knows about everything first.

clear concepts. Thanx for sharing

Clear and solid explaination that clear my doubts about AI risk.. thanks doctor 👍🙏🏻

Thank you Andrew. I remember a day when I visited a remote village in Asia. Someone mentioned talking about your courses and they could learn AI from your videos. You keep doing great work.

High quality overview of AI at present and possibilities for the future. Everyone interested in AI must check it out. Thank you'

Thank you very much for doing this!

Absolutely, each new AI tool should aim to be more than just another application; it should be a dedicated solution to address a particular business challenge. At our software development company, we guide our clients to embrace new technologies only when they genuinely enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their software solutions.
