Whom to follow in AI Space

Often I’m asked whose voices in AI are worth following. Every now and then I discover someone new sharing thoughtful perspectives on social media. Unfortunately, staying consistently active over a long period isn’t easy — many great voices appear briefly and then fade.

However, a few people have managed to share valuable insights consistently for years. Here are some of the people I’ve followed for a long time and keep learning from:

Andrew Ng

Creator of Coursera & DeepLearning.AI

Many people started their ML/AI journey thanks to his courses. He has a rare talent for explaining complex ideas clearly and regularly shares thoughtful essays about the future of the field.
