Andrew Ng biography
One of the world’s most consequential figures in artificial intelligence, AI speaker Andrew Ng has not only advanced the science of machine learning — he has fundamentally changed how it is taught, applied, and understood at a global scale.
Ng was the founding lead of Google Brain, the deep learning project that helped transform Google into a modern AI company. He later served as Chief Scientist at Baidu, where he built a 1,300-person AI team responsible for the company’s full AI technology and strategy. Today he leads a portfolio of ventures at the frontier of AI development and education. He is Founder of DeepLearning.AI, which has trained over eight million learners worldwide in machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI — through courses developed in partnership with Stanford Online, Coursera, AWS, Google, and OpenAI. He is Executive Chairman of Landing AI, a visual AI platform focused on computer vision for manufacturing and industrial inspection. He is Chairman and Co-Founder of Coursera, the world’s largest online learning platform with over 150 million registered learners across 275 partner universities and companies. He is Managing General Partner of AI Fund, a venture studio that builds AI-native companies from the ground up. And since April 2024, he has served on the board of directors of Amazon.
Democratizing AI for the World
The breadth of Ng’s impact is difficult to overstate. His original machine learning course at Stanford — taken by over 100,000 students before Coursera existed — directly seeded the modern MOOC movement and inspired both Coursera and Udacity. He has authored or co-authored over 200 research papers in machine learning, robotics, computer vision, and natural language processing. In 2023, he was named to the Time100 AI list of the most influential people in artificial intelligence. He holds a B.Sc. from Carnegie Mellon, an M.S. from MIT, and a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, and is an adjunct professor at Stanford University.
As a speaker, Andrew Ng brings unparalleled depth to the questions that matter most to senior executives and boards right now: how to build AI strategies that deliver lasting business value, how to navigate the risks and opportunities of generative AI, and how to develop the organizational capabilities required to compete in an AI-driven economy. His keynotes synthesize decades of research, company-building, and global education into a clear, accessible, and genuinely actionable vision of what AI means for business, society, and the future of work.

Andrew Ng - Artificial Intelligence is the New Electricity
Andrew Ng Keynote Topics
Just as electricity transformed every industry a century ago, Andrew Ng argues that AI will reshape every sector of the global economy — not through a single breakthrough, but through thousands of applications built by teams and organizations that have learned to think systematically about AI. In this keynote, Ng shares his framework for how companies can move from AI experimentation to genuine AI transformation: identifying the highest-value opportunities, building the right internal capabilities, and avoiding the common pitfalls that cause AI projects to stall. Drawing on his experience leading AI at Google and Baidu and building Landing AI, he offers a clear-eyed, practical roadmap for organizations ready to compete in an AI-first world.
Generative AI has fundamentally changed the AI landscape — and the strategic implications for organizations are still unfolding. In this keynote, Andrew Ng explores what generative AI actually is, where it is delivering real value today, and where the hype is still ahead of the reality. He examines the rise of agentic AI systems, the evolving role of foundation models, and the critical questions around safety, accountability, and governance that boards and senior leaders must now engage with. Ng's perspective is grounded in his deep technical knowledge and his hands-on work building AI systems at scale — giving audiences a framework for making informed, strategic decisions rather than reactive ones.
Over eight million people have learned machine learning from Andrew Ng. Coursera, the platform he co-founded, now serves 150 million learners in partnership with over 275 universities and companies. In this keynote, Ng explores what it will take to ensure that the AI transformation benefits not just the most technologically advanced organizations and economies, but the world at large. He addresses how AI is changing the skills that workers need, how companies can invest in AI capability-building at scale, and what role leaders in business, education, and government must play in preparing the global workforce for an AI-driven future.
