These platforms, which he helped create, are designed to make AI education accessible and actionable for everyone, regardless of background. Ng’s call to action comes at a time when institutions around the globe are ramping up efforts to provide AI education. Registration for the IIT Kanpur programme is already open, with a Golden Registration deadline on March 31, 2026, and a Flash Registration deadline on April 22, 2026. The momentum behind AI education isn’t slowing down. As more institutions follow the lead of pioneers like Ng and IIT Kanpur, the opportunities for individuals to gain practical, hands-on experience will only grow.
