Cade Metz of Wired writes: Andrew Ng picks up his iPhone and opens an app called FaceYou. Ng, the chief scientist at Chinese Internet giant Baidu, is eating lunch at his desk inside the company’s Silicon Valley research lab, and naturally, the conversation revolves around artificial intelligence. Ng, who moonlights as a professor of computer science at Stanford, helped launch the Google Brain project at that other search giant down the road, and now, he’s exploring similar AI research at Baidu.
