In my career working on AI, I have yet to meet a single AI person that ever felt like they had enough compute. Data centers are the critical infrastructure for building the digital economy. I think that open way models is a tremendous source of geopolitical influence. I think the work ethic, the velocity when China's government makes an all-nation commitment is all industrial. Commitment is actually a very powerful force that I wouldn't underestimate.
This is 20 VC with me, Harry Stebbings, and I am forever grateful of the opportunities that I get to speak to the world's smartest people. And this was a real pinch me moment. I'm learning AI in real time with you. And so I could not ask for a better guest than the guest today joining me, Andrew NG, globally recognized leader in AI. He's the founder of Deep Learning AI.
Exec chairman of Landing AI, general partner at AI Fund, he even co-founded Coursera. He's a pioneer in machine learning and has co-authored or authored over 200 papers in machine learning, robotics, and other fields. And in 2023, he was named to the Times 100 AI list as one of the most influential AI people in the world. But before we dive into the show today, are you drowning in AI tools, chat GPT for writing, notion for docs, Gmail for email, Slack for comms, and you're constantly copy pasting between them all, losing context and losing time. This is the AI productivity tax, and it's killing your output.
