AI Resource Guide, by AI-Next

LEARN ABOUT AI˝

• What is AI? / Basic Questions
• Project JMC, which was launched by one of the founding fathers of AI,
John McCarthy, was formed with the objective of making the professor’s
work more accessible for people to learn. Here’s a page on some basic
questions asked about AI, with clear and informative answers.

• Artificial Intelligence: What It Is and Why It Matters

• SAS, a company focused on creating software solutions for data analysis,
has made a page which covers AI as a whole. With sections, on history, how
AI works, and its current use, it gives a great introduction to AI.

• 10 Powerful Examples Of Artificial Intelligence In Use

• Forbes has compiled a list of a few of the well-known ways that AI is used
in our lives. This page gives some amazing examples of how such a
powerful technology is right at your fingertips.

• AI and bias
• Learning about the technological part of AI is great, but we have to see the
effects and flaws as well. Here’s a quick read on Data Bias in AI and how to
mitigate the effects by IBM.

• AI for Social Good Guide – Google AI

• Here is a guide on how to use AI for social good developed by Google.
Along with clearly outlining the basic steps on any AI project, each section
is abundant with links to tutorials and lessons to delve deeper.
TECHNICAL COURSES AND TUTORIALS ON AI˝

in business. It is not a technical course and does not teach coding.  

• IBM AI: Ethics, Bias, and Trust: https://www.coursera.org/lecture/

introduction-to-ai/ai-ethics-bias-and-trust-ffkFH
• This Course mainly focuses on the ethics of AI and the bias in data.
It does not require any prior coding experience

USING AI YOURSELF˝
Once you learn the basic coding techniques of AI, the main issue people
face is finding data. Most problems involving classification or prediction can be
solved with AI algorithms, but finding ethical and properly maintained datasets
can be risky business. Generally, government sites are good(https://
www.data.gov/) and the site Kaggle has many datasets for different AI
challenges(https://www.kaggle.com/datasets). 

Also, emailing researchers involved in a field you would like to use AI in

can help. For example, if you want to do your own project on AI and Climate
Change, you can contact people working on Climate change research for
environmental data. Just remember to always attribute and cite your data in
your projects.
