Andrew Ng on Leaders Still Doing Things the Way They Were in 2022
Ng put into words something that I've been thinking for a while now.
To me, there’s so many things that the world used to do in 2022, they just do not work in 2025. So in fact, often I ask myself, is there anything we’re doing that today that we were also doing in 2022? And if so, let’s take a look and see if it still even makes sense today because a lot of stuff, a lot of workflows in 2023 don’t make sense today. So I think today, the technology is moving so fast
…
I think it’s a challenge for a lot of people. I know many great leaders in lots of different functions still doing things the way they were in 2022. And I think it’s just got to change. When new technology comes, I mean, once upon a time, there was no such thing as web search today. Would you hire anyone for any role that doesn’t know how to search the web, right? And I think we’re well past the point that for a lot of job roles, if you can’t use LLMs in an effective way, you’re just much less effective than someone that can.

Sarah Guo and Elad Gil’s No Priors podcast is well-done. The episode title here was How Agentic AI is Transforming The Startup Landscape with Andrew Ng; very worth the listen.
