Andrew Ng

Person. The field's premier educator-evangelist. Co-founded Google Brain, led AI at Baidu, co-founded Coursera — his original Stanford ML course (CS229, whose notes appear in this corpus) taught a generation. Founder of DeepLearning.AI (courses + The Batch newsletter, both in this corpus) and the AI Fund.

Author of the "AI is the new electricity" thesis — captured here twice, seven years apart (HBR 2016 on hiring Chief AI Officers; TED AI 2023). Consistently pragmatic and capabilities-optimistic: argues value comes from applying AI with customized enterprise data, and is dismissive of near-term x-risk framing.
