The man who coined ‘agentic AI’ is betting it won’t take your job

Andrew Ng, who coined the term 'agentic AI,' has founded LearnVector, an AI-driven learning startup backed by Coursera with $100 million. LearnVector aims to create AI personal tutors that adapt to learners and help them master skills, countering the narrative that AI will cause job losses by instead enhancing worker productivity and skill demand. The company targets adult learners in corporate, government, and higher education sectors, with courses launching in early 2027.
