AI Learning Resources

Introduction

This collection provides educational materials about artificial intelligence fundamentals, development history, and ethical implications. Resources span multiple formats and perspectives, focusing on understanding AI as a subject rather than its practical applications. Content includes both mainstream and critical viewpoints to encourage comprehensive knowledge of this rapidly evolving field.

The inclusion of any resource should not be considered an endorsement of any views. I did my best to vet the different resources, but could only sample some of the different resources. If you discover something that you think should be removed, please reach out and let me know. Additionally, if you’ve used different resources that you’ve found helpful, please let me know and I can add them! Send me a message on Teams or email me dennis.christman@duke.edu
