When Andrew Ng talks about AI, people listen — in classrooms, boardrooms and Silicon Valley.

The researcher-turned-educator-turned-investor has become an AI statesman of sorts, co-founding Google Brain, which became part of Google’s flagship DeepMind division that now produces some of the world’s best AI systems, and serving as chief scientist of Chinese tech titan Baidu.

In today’s influencer-obsessed information landscape, Ng’s biggest claim to fame might be his credential as a “Top Voice” on LinkedIn, an honor the platform gives to a few handpicked experts, with over 2.3 million followers.

Armed with decades of AI experience, Ng says he remains clear-eyed about AI’s abilities.
