We are honored to welcome back Geoffrey Hinton and Fei-Fei Li, who captivated audiences at Ai4 2025, and to join them with Andrew Ng for an extraordinary dialogue that will help guide organizations, policymakers, and practitioners as they prepare for the world ahead."

Geoffrey Hinton, often referred to as the "Godfather of AI," is a foundational figure in the development of modern artificial intelligence. He was awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for his pioneering contributions to neural networks and machine learning. In 2012, Dr. Hinton's breakthroughs laid the groundwork for today's deep learning systems that now power AI across industries. A leading global voice on AI's societal impact, Hinton has been outspoken about both the transformative potential of AI and the urgent need for thoughtful governance to mitigate risk as technology advances.

Fei-Fei Li, widely recognized as the "Godmother of AI," is a pioneering computer scientist and a leading voice in human-centered artificial intelligence. She is the inaugural Sequoia Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and a founding co-director of Stanford's Human-Centered AI Institute (HAI). Dr. Li previously served as Vice President at Google and Chief Scientist of AI/ML at Google Cloud, and as Director of the Stanford AI Lab. She is currently the Co-Founder and CEO of World Labs, an AI company focused on spatial intelligence and generative AI.

Andrew Ng is one of the world's leading pioneers in machine learning and AI education. He is the Founder of DeepLearning.AI, Managing General Partner at AI Fund, Executive Chairman of LandingAI, Chairman and Co-Founder of Coursera, and an Adjunct Professor at Stanford University. Dr. Ng previously led the Google Brain team and served as VP and Chief Scientist at Baidu, overseeing a 1,300-person AI organization. More than 8 million learners worldwide have taken AI courses taught by Dr. Ng. In 2023, he was named to the TIME100 AI list of the most influential people in artificial intelligence.
