History

Andrew Ng in 2017

DeepLearning.AI was founded in 2017 by Andrew Ng following his tenure as Chief Scientist at Baidu and co-founder of Google Brain.[1][2] The company was initially announced on June 22, 2017, shortly after Ng's departure from Baidu in March of that year.[3] According to Ng at the time, Deeplearning.AI aimed to address the disparity between the increasing demand for deep learning expertise and its limited availability in research laboratories and universities.[4] Development of the platform[clarification needed] began in May 2017, with Stanford University teaching assistants Kian Katanforoosh and Younes Mourri contributing to the project. The platform[clarification needed] utilized Python as its primary programming language and TensorFlow as its software framework.[5]

The platform[clarification needed] was launched on August 8, 2017, with three courses available on Coursera. They expanded upon Ng's earlier machine learning course that had attracted over 1.8 million students since 2011.[5] One of the courses, "Deep Learning Specialization Certificate", required basic Python programming knowledge and fundamental machine learning concepts as prerequisites. The curriculum emphasized foundational concepts taught in low-level programming languages rather than specific corporate frameworks.[4]

By 2024, DeepLearning.AI had developed partnerships with major technology companies including Amazon AWS,[6] NVIDIA,[7] Google Cloud,[citation needed] and Intel.[citation needed][non-primary source needed]

As of 2024, Deeplearning.AI has reached over 7 million students globally, offering more than 50 free short courses alongside its paid specializations and longer programs.[8][3]
