A lot of my friends and colleagues don't work on AI but are really interested in the field, and I'm frequently asked "What is AI? / Can you send me some links to good examples?" These are awesome questions, but I found myself doing this a handful of times and decided to make a page to host it all in one place so they (and anyone else on the internet) could have easier access to this info. I'd love to hear from some people that are not practicing AI about whether or not they find the page helpful!
Good read - as a programmer what's always fascinated me is how much actual coding is required each time you need to train a neural network to solve a new problem. Is that something you'd consider adding a paragraph about or would it go beyond "semi- technical"?
