Andrew Ng’s 11 minute and 16 second TED talk outlining how every organization can drive real value with simple, practical AI adoption steps.
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.
