I am often asked how to stay up to date in the fast-paced world of AI. As this seems to be something that many struggle with, I would like to provide you with a collection of resources that I personally use to stay up to date.

You won't find 100+ links in this post. I will focus on a few sources that are really worth it.

Youtube Channels

Since I grew up with Youtube I use it a lot for knowledge collection and learning new stuff. Here are some channels I love to watch:

Andrej Karpathy
FAQ Q: How can I pay you? Do you have a Patreon or etc? A: As YouTube partner I do share in a small amount of the ad revenue on the videos, but I don’t maintain any other extra payment channels. I would prefer that people “pay me back” by using the knowledge to build something great.

StatQuest with Josh Starmer
Statistics, Machine Learning and Data Science can sometimes seem like very scary topics, but since each technique is really just a combination of small and simple steps, they are actually quite simple. My goal with StatQuest is to break down the major methodologies into easy to understand pieces. That said, I don’t dumb down the material. Instead, I build up your understanding so that you are smarter. Contact, Video Index, Etc: https://statquest.org

Blogs

The following list contains some blogs that I like to spend my time with when searching for new interesting topics:

Paper

On my blog Hacking and Security I sometimes cover interesting paper regarding AI security. In my opinion it is crucial to bring awareness to the people that AI can not only be used for malicious actions but also is vulnerable to all kind of attacks.

ArtPrompt: ASCII Art-based Jailbreak Attacks against Aligned LLMs
Abstract Safety is critical to the usage of large language models (LLMs). Multiple techniques such as data filtering and supervised fine-tuning have been developed to strengthen LLM safety. However, currently known techniques presume that corpora used for safety alignment of LLMs are solely interpreted by semantics. This assumption, however, does
Scalable and Transferable Black-Box Jailbreaks for Language Models via Persona Modulation
Abstract Despite efforts to align large language models to produce harmless responses, they are still vulnerable to jailbreak prompts that elicit unrestricted behaviour. In this work, we investigate persona modulation as a black-box jailbreaking method to steer a target model to take on personalities that are willing to comply with

Conclusion

I myself also find it difficult to keep up to date with the latest developments. That's why it's great that there are so many opportunities to engage with the topic. I will try to keep this list updated such that it always represent my current collection of knowledge sources.

If you are new to the topic of AI and want to learn more feel free to check out my blog series on the introduction to neural networks.
