What I found interesting about this talk is that Ng is very explicit about the fact that companies like Baidu launched products simply to collect data with the intention of monetizing the data (through AI). I know this is obviously the case, but I've never heard it stated so explicitly from someone in his position of influence.
He also mentions that ad targeting is probably the most profitable application of AI
