AI in a week

With commentators arguing about how artificial intelligence is reshaping the world, lots of people want to get up to speed on what AI might mean for them. There are many great articles, videos, courses and games online to help you learn about AI: but knowing where to start can be difficult. To answer that question, our researcher Laura Caccia has put together a week-long crash course to get you up to speed with the basic developments and debates shaping the field of artificial intelligence: how it works, why it's important, and what it can do for you. We've recommended two books that cost a total of £20, and the rest of the materials are all available for free online.
