Unless you’ve been living under a rock for a while now, you must have come across news on how Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Larry Page etc. are gunning for AI being the future. If not you must have surely come across at least one news post about Elon Musk being concerned about the use of AI. Well they’re the business demi-gods of sorts and what they say becomes news, but we wanted to share news of the AI blogs and bloggers that are actually the real cauldron of ideas and AI discussions.
