Awesome Artificial Intelligence

A hand-picked list of books, courses, papers and guides for developers learning to build AI systems.

What it does

This is a curated list of learning resources for software developers who want to build with modern AI, including language models, AI that looks up information, and agents.

It includes classic textbooks, well-known courses, foundational research papers, and practical guides from AI companies on topics such as building agents, writing prompts and AI security.

Its makers say it is selective rather than complete, and that each entry has to meet a quality bar. One course on the list is a paid program.
