From helping doctors make faster and more reliable diagnoses, to powering new frontiers in space exploration, AI has made a huge impact across industries, and we witness it every day.
As Google CEO Sundar Pichai once noted, AI and machine learning have the potential to be more profound than fire or electricity. If this is true, these technologies will enable the human race to reach heights they never dreamed would exist.
With all of the tech giants investing heavily in AI and ML, along with a growing landscape of startups developing news ideas related to AI every day, there is advancement with every passing hour. In order to keep up with the pace of these advancements, we have to be efficient in how we choose our sources of information.
That’s why I (along with some help from the Heartbeat team) have thoughtfully curated a list of active and informative newsletters that can help you stay up-to-date on the top happenings in AI and machines learning arenas. We’ve separated this list into the following categories:
