    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.
  • 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.
  • @t0el
    "AI is the new electricity" the best quote of the century! Great Prof. Andrew Ng
  • @jacopoalberto
    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.
  • @longship44
    Andrew Ng is awesome on multiple levels. I'm always a bit smarter each time I listen to him.
  • We need more people like Andrew Ng in this world, very inspiring and helpful.
  • @for-ever-22
    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.
  • @itsdavidmora
    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.

    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.

    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! 🦋🦋🦋
  • @stasgurevich7786
    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!
  • @ZeryusXD
    Very concise and well laid out presentation. Any beginner who wants to take their first step into AI will benefit from this
  • @SabaJamalian
    While billionaires like Elon Musk often dominate headlines with their bold yet baseless proclamations, it is refreshing to learn from experts like Andrew Ng.
  • 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.
  • @Geovea-Travel
    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
  • @SethBang91
    Andrew has truly made a legendary impact with his dedication to education over the years. I deeply appreciate all that he has done. Kudos to Stanford for consistently sharing such valuable content featuring leading figures in technology!
  • @ravibatta4402
    His stand on ethical grounds and serving humanity with technology is what makes him a great person.
  • @lien-chinwei4815
    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
