Andrew Ng is stepping down as CEO of Landing AI, the computer vision platform he founded in 2017. Former COO Dan Maloney will take over, and Ng will become chairman of the board, continue to help drive the technology and assist with “key decisions.”
Ng, formerly of Google Brain, Coursera, and Baidu, has hardly stayed in the same position, and it's probably no coincidence that his AI Fund just announced plans to raise another $120 million. Perhaps he's just choosing to focus on investing for now, but these executive shakeups often precede other big news, so keep an eye out for more news from Ng in the next month or two.
