For those looking to learn more about AI, venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz has gathered resources from across the Internet for a course of study it grandly calls the “AI Canon.” It is a VCs dream curriculum in artificial intelligence. Naturally, the authors include a link to each resource. The post states:
“Research in artificial intelligence is increasing at an exponential rate. It’s difficult for AI experts to keep up with everything new being published, and even harder for beginners to know where to start. So, in this post, we’re sharing a curated list of resources we’ve relied on to get smarter about modern AI. We call it the ‘AI Canon’ because these papers, blog posts, courses, and guides have had an outsized impact on the field over the past several years. We start with a gentle introduction to transformer and latent diffusion models, which are fueling the current AI wave. Next, we go deep on technical learning resources; practical guides to building with large language models (LLMs); and analysis of the AI market. Finally, we include a reference list of landmark research results, starting with ‘Attention is All You Need’ — the 2017 paper by Google that introduced the world to transformer models and ushered in the age of generative AI.”
Yes, the Internet is flooded with articles about AI, some by humans and some by self-reporting algorithms. Even this curated list is a bit overwhelming, but at least it narrows the possibilities. It looks like a good place to start learning more about this inescapable phenomenon. And while there, one can invest in the firm’s hottest prospects we think.
