AI

How to think clearly about AI as a tool for program work: what it can do, what it can't, and where it can quietly cause harm.

  1. Elements of AI

    ↗

    University of Helsinki & MinnaLearn · course

    the calmest intro to what ai actually is, no code, no math; enough to hold your own the next time someone asks 'should we be using this?'

  2. AI for Everyone

    ↗

    Andrew Ng, DeepLearning.AI · course

    a non-technical tour of what ai can and can't do; watch it before you scope a tool, so no vendor can oversell you.

  3. One Useful Thing

    ↗

    Ethan Mollick · site

    the least hyped, most practical writing on actually working with ai day to day; the fastest way to build real instinct for it.

  4. AI Snake Oil

    ↗

    Arvind Narayanan & Sayash Kapoor · book

    how to tell genuine capability from marketing, so your program spends its budget on the thing that works, not the demo.

  5. Weapons of Math Destruction

    ↗

    Cathy O'Neil · book

    how automated systems quietly encode bias at scale; the risk lens for anyone pointing ai at the people they serve.
