Middle East – Bain & Company today announced a strategic partnership with Dr. Andrew Ng and his advisory firm, AI Aspire, to help organizations unlock scalable, transformative value from artificial intelligence. Dr. Ng is a renowned British-American computer scientist, AI thought leader, and founder of DeepLearning.AI.

The collaboration combines Bain’s deep industry knowledge and expertise in AI implementation with Dr. Ng’s pioneering insights in AI and machine learning, with the goal of empowering companies to move beyond experimentation and deliver enterprise-level results with AI.

“AI is the most transformative technology of our generation—and realizing its full potential requires both cutting-edge technical thinking and practical execution at scale,” said Chuck Whitten, senior partner and global head of Bain & Company’s digital capabilities. “That’s what Bain does best. We’re thrilled to welcome Andrew Ng—one of the foremost minds in AI—to our team, joining forces with our 1,500 AI and digital practitioners to help clients move from experimentation to enterprise-wide impact.”
