How AI Could Empower Any Business | Andrew Ng | TED
Andrew Ng’s 11 minute and 16 second TED talk outlining how every organization can drive real value with simple, practical AI adoption steps.
Video Summary & Key Moments
In this 11:16 TED talk, Andrew Ng argues that AI’s true transformative power comes not from complex, futuristic systems but from small, targeted applications that solve real business problems. He opens by noting that most companies dramatically overestimate how much technical sophistication they need to get started. Instead of chasing grand, moonshot-style projects, he urges leaders to look for immediate, high-impact use cases: repetitive decisions, predictable tasks, and processes already fueled by data.
Andrew explains his principle of “AI transformation through many small wins,” comparing modern AI adoption to the early days of electricity—organizations that systematically identified where electricity could save time and reduce cost became the most competitive. He introduces the concept of “AI factories,” where teams iterate rapidly, measure outcomes, and deploy models in a structured, repeatable way. Throughout the talk, he highlights examples from industries like manufacturing, customer service, and healthcare, showing how modest AI deployments can unlock disproportionate value.
A major theme is accessibility: AI is no longer limited to big tech or research labs. With the right mindset, data discipline, and cross-functional collaboration, any business—regardless of size or sector—can build AI capability. Andrew closes with a call for leaders to focus on execution, not hype: create small AI wins, learn from them, scale intelligently, and build organizational momentum through practical success rather than lofty aspiration.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses and other costs
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Deposits and securing a booking
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
Additional tips and takeaways
- Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
- There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.

- Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
