>>Of course, Ng probably knows all this which makes me feel even more bothered. Ng's implied claim is that he has a head start on how to tackle the edge cases, along with other hard problems encountered in the field, based on his experience at Baidu. This is what got him the "easy" capital raise. If he really has an edge (no pun intended), then it makes sense for him to apply it while it's still relevant. |

What I will bet money on though is that no massive success will come out of this. The key to AI is data & hardware (and not algorithm or methodology -- where everyone is essentially doing the same) and that's the domain of already giant tech companies. There can be a lot of good use cases in teaching far-off industries on how to use AI (manufacturing, etc.) but that's essentially a consulting business which will have a limited window. So lots of little successes is completely achievable; massive successes I hardly doubt.
