Summary

This engaging "fireside chat" brings together two leading Stanford experts, Andrew Ng and Mehran Sahami, for an illuminating conversation on how AI is reshaping both coding and education. Their thought-provoking insights reveal the transformative impact of AI on the future of technology and learning.

From the rich history of these disciplines to the latest breakthroughs fueled by generative AI, they offer sharp insights into what’s coming next in technology and learning, and how it will reshape the world around us.

Topics Include:
  • How generative AI is enabling faster development for experienced developers while simplifying coding for novices, making advanced software creation more accessible
  • Why learning to code and use generative AI will become vital for professionals across various fields, not just software engineers
  • How educational institutions are integrating generative AI tools into computer science curricula to ensure students are proficient with these emerging technologies from the outset
  • The importance of equipping students to recognize the broader societal implications of the technologies they develop by embedding considerations of fairness, privacy, and decision-making into technical courses
