👉 Joshua Computing is an interdisciplinary research initiative founded by Andrew Ng, focusing on the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and human-centered design to create systems that are not only technically advanced but also deeply aligned with human needs and values. Established in 2012, it operates as a research lab and educational platform, aiming to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and practical applications. The initiative emphasizes collaboration across diverse fields, including computer science, cognitive science, philosophy, and social sciences, to develop AI systems that are transparent, ethical, and beneficial to society. Joshua Computing also runs the Coursera platform, offering courses and specializations in AI and ML, and has produced influential projects like DeepMind's AlphaGo and the development of conversational AI systems. By fostering a community of researchers, practitioners, and students, Joshua Computing seeks to ensure that AI advancements are guided by a holistic understanding of their societal impact.
