Quoc Le works over at Google Brain (of which he was a founding member) and is the person behind Google’s AutoML, an ambitious project that promises to expand the number of people who can create neural networks from a few hundred PhD holders to pretty much anyone online who is interested – by teaching neural networks to do the heavy work in constructing new ones. He talks about this and much more @quocleix.

Richard S Sutton is sometimes called one of the fathers of AI, because he was a real pioneer in the field, publishing his seminal doctorate “Temporal Credit Assignment in Reinforcement Learning” in 1984. He’s now a professor at the University of Alberta and works with Deepmind. He shares his thinking on his website incompleteideas.net, a beautifully low-tech website that Dr Sutton terms “a sort of blog”.

His newsletter is read by millions. https://todayssimpleai.com/ – AI made easy
Dag Kittlaus is someone we’ve all met – or rather, his creation, Siri, which Apple acquired and made a household name. He next created Viv, which Samsung took off his hands. We can’t wait to meet his new AI entity, but in the meantime he talks about AI and the world @Dagk. https://todayssimpleai.com/ – AI made easy
