I'm grateful for providing AI education to so many students globally: Hadelin de Ponteves

India-based businessman Hadelin de Ponteves , who hails from Paris, is among the leading names globally, when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) and the online education business. His BlueLife AI has takers across the world, and the number of consumers has only grown over the last two years. 

Ask him what inspired him to start a venture on online education and he says that he wanted to make an impact in the world. And the best way for him to do that was to share his knowledge of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which was fresh in his mind because he had finished a master in AI, followed by a one-year work stint at Google. So, it was the perfect time to share all that he knew. 

He holds BlueLife AI really close to his heart. It’s a business that will directly build the AIs for companies that want to save time by getting the AIs fast, instead of training their teams for a long time before they are able to build AIs themselves. The idea is to help anyone who wants to leverage AI the way they want, either by training or consulting. At BlueLife AI, they also provide corporate training to train teams of employees in an intense, but effective schedule, says Hadelin. 

Given the kind of time and effort he has invested in the AI business over the years showcases how passionate he’s about it. Hadelin says he’s been passionate about AI since his engineering days and that’s why he decided to specialise in AI in his last year and then pursue a career in it. He first worked at Google and built an AI that optimises the click-through-rate in ads. “But then I wanted to make a global impact and I didn’t feel like it was the case at Google. I felt meaningless at the bottom of the pyramid. So, I became an entrepreneur and started my online education business. I quickly got students from all over the world, which gave me the meaningful impact I was looking for. I’m grateful for providing AI education to so many students globally and helping them either to get a good job or build a good business in AI,” says Hadelin, who has over 1.3 million students across 215 countries. Interestingly, he’s also a best seller on Udemy.
