If you are looking to build AI tech, or just learn about it, then you will find these interesting:

1. Artificial intelligence pioneer says we need to start over – Axios – if Hinton says it, it is worth taking note
2. Robots Will Take Fast-Food Jobs, But Not Because of Minimum Wage Hikes | Inverse – true. Economists need to stop making such a strong link here.
3. Artificial Intelligence 101: How to Get Started | HackerEarth Blog – a good 101 piece
4. Deep Learning Machine Teaches Itself Chess in 72 Hours, Plays at International Master Level – MIT Technology Review – the ability of tech to learn is accelerating.
5. Now AI Machines Are Learning to Understand Stories – MIT Technology Review – and not just accelerating, but getting deeper.
6. Robots are coming for your job. That might not be bad news – good alternative insight from Laurie Penny.
7. Pocket: Physicists Unleash AI to Devise Unthinkable Experiments – not surprisingly, a smart use of AI
8. AI’s dueling definitions – O’Reilly Media – this highlights one of the problems with AI, and that it is it is a suitcase word (or term) and people fill it with what they want to fill it with
9. A Neural Network Playground – a very nice tool to start working with AI
10. Foxconn replaces ‘60,000 factory workers with robots’ – BBC News – there is no doubt in places like Foxconn, robots are taking jobs.
11. 7 Steps to Mastering Machine Learning With Python – don’t be put off by this site’s design: there is good stuff here
12. How Amazon Triggered a Robot Arms Race – Bloomberg – Amazon made a smart move with that acquisition and it is paying off
13. When Police Use Robots to Kill People – Bloomberg this is a real moral quandary and I am certain the police aren’t the only people to be deciding on it. See also: A conversation on the ethics of Dallas police’s bomb robot – The Verge
14. How to build and run your first deep learning network – O’Reilly Media – more good stuff on ML/DL/AI
15. This expert thinks robots aren’t going to destroy many jobs. And that’s a problem. | The new new economy – another alternative take on robots and jobs
16. Neural Evolution – Building a natural selection process with AI – more tutorials
17. Uber Parking Lot Patrolled By Security Robot | Popular Science – not too long after this, one of these robots drowned in a pool in a mall. Technology: it’s not easy 🙂
18. A Robot That Harms: When Machines Make Life Or Death Decisions : All Tech Considered : NPR – this is kinda dumb, but worth a quick read.
19. Mathematics of Machine Learning | Mathematics | MIT OpenCourseWare – if you have the math skills, this looks promising
20. Small Prolog | Managing organized complexity – I will always remain an AI/Prolog fan, so I am including this link.
21. TensorKart: self-driving MarioKart with TensorFlow – a very cool application
22. AI Software Learns to Make AI Software – MIT Technology Review – there is less here than it appears, but still worth reviewing
23. How to Beat the Robots – The New York Times – meh. I think people need to learn to work with the technology, not try to defeat it. If you disagree, read this.
24. People want to know: Why are there no good bots? – bot makers, take note.
25. Noahpinion: Robuts takin’ jerbs
26. globalinequality: Robotics or fascination with anthropomorphism – everyone is writing about robots and jobs, it seems.
27. Valohai – more ML tools
28. Seth’s Blog: 23 things artificially intelligent computers can do better/faster/cheaper than you can – like I said, everyone is writing about AI. Even Seth Godin.
29. The Six Main Stories, As Identified by a Computer – The Atlantic – again, not a big deal, but interesting.
30. A poet does TensorFlow – O’Reilly Media – artists will always experiment with new mediums
31. How to train your own Object Detector with TensorFlow’s Object Detector API – more good tooling.
32. Rise of the machines – the best – by far! – non-technical piece I have read about AI and robots.
33. We Trained A Computer To Search For Hidden Spy Planes. This Is What It Found. – I was super impressed what Buzzfeed did here.
34. The Best Machine Learning Resources – Machine Learning for Humans – Medium – tons of good resources here.
