The volume of data it can process and the accuracy. I’m in the industry, I know there are a lot of things where machine is more capable than man. “AI is a very good lead-in to share the Gospel because then we have to talk about: What is Man?”
#THE WHO MASTERED IBM CHINESE CODE#
Though Ng sees her role of inventor as a God-given ability where she is co-creating with God – she is sometimes able to see and write the entire code for an AI solution in her mind’s eye – she is clear that she does this for “an audience of One”. “If it wasn’t because of Jesus’ redemption, I would still be living in the lies about a person’s identity, let alone a woman’s identity, that was not what God had intended for me.” Co-creating with God Ng says: “Basically, the Lord opened up my eyes.”įor Ng, it had “everything to do with walking through a process of healing, of rejecting the lies, of stepping into the identity in Christ and hearing from the Holy Spirit.
But, after an encounter with God at the end of her first year in university, Ng realised that she had a particular gifting in computer sciences. She had grown up wanting to become a psychologist. You honour the family by marrying well and, most importantly, by giving birth to a son – which I never got to do,” says Ng, who has two daughters. “Transforming from what was ingrained in me as a Chinese girl, from my family of origin, was a supernatural transformation.” Rather, she got approval by staying “quiet, invisible and in the background” while being compliant and keeping her opinions to herself. Achievements and career successes were not how you would win “brownie points” from her parents, she says. Ng was born into a traditional Chinese family from Hong Kong who moved to Canada when she was young. She is the founder of an AI start-up that specialises in augmented cognition and intelligent virtual assistants.īut, to her, humility is key in leadership: “Because nothing that I have ever done – none of the patents, papers or so-called ‘accomplishments’ – were not enabled by God.” Finding her gifting
Ng, who has 45 patents to her name, worked for IBM for 35 years and was given the prestigious title of Master Inventor for her pioneering work in the internet of things, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies. In a world where only 5% of tech start-up founders and less than 4% of patent-owners are female, Joanna Ng stands out in more ways than one.
