I didn't find a single reference other than this as to what he is going to do post resigning.

>I will also explore new ways to support all of you in the global AI community, so that we can all work together to bring this AI-powered society to fruition.

It is true that AI is the new electricity which will change practically everything in our lives and it is good to see that alliances like OpenAI are forming to democratize the knowledge, this is because giant companies hold a monopoly, they are the only ones who have the sufficient data to do any meaningful research at all.

Wow, I'm amazed at Andrew's list of accomplishments. I mean any one of these would be a career capstone for most people

- Stanford Professor

- Founding lead of the Google Brain project

- Author of one of the most famous and loved MOOC's

- Head of AI for Baidu, built up the AI team in both China and the US.

- Founder of Coursera

And I see from wikipedia that he and I are roughly the same age :(

Engineers are often seen as a cost center for most businesses, which means you'll eventually hit a compensation ceiling If you want to elevate yourself into one of the engineers you hear about that is able to break through the compensation ceiling then the below is one of the best ways to do so.....

> My team birthed one new business unit per year each of the last two years

If you can directly tie yourself to a Pnl then you'll always have more options than someone who is considered a cost center.

I hope that what ever he does, he takes some time of first if he needs it. I'd hate for someone like this to get burnt out.

Ng's wife's company, Drive.ai, has made more progress in less time and with fewer resources than anybody in the autonomous driving space. So it's probably a billion dollar company. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. There's a lot of money in autonomous driving startups that can deliver results.
