Coursera cofounder Andrew Ng said he founded LearnVector because he thinks the popular belief that artificial intelligence will replace workers is misguided and white-collar workers simply need to learn new skills that keep them essential as AI automates more tasks.

Coursera invests in its cofounder's company for agentic education.

Coursera is investing $100m in LearnVector, Andrew Ng's new AI tutoring startup, taking a third of a firm betting AI grows the market for learning.
