Brian's curated, sometimes annotated, weekly list on the challenges presented by the rising AI tsunami

So much of the analysis of artificial intelligence (AI) and its effects coming out these days are from hardly disinterested cheerleaders from within the AI and broader tech industries.  Way back in 2019, I offered some prescient thoughts on the approach of AI that I feel have aged well, which you can read for yourself here:

But the bottom line is that the AI discussion requires far more input from those in the policymaking realm, so I aim here to provide a reading list for especially decision-makers and their staff to have a broader, deeper, and more applicable understanding of AI.  Yet this will also a list useful for anyone trying to navigate this challenging AI landscape shaping more and more of our daily lives, for better and, yes, for worse.  This technology is unprecedented and will shape us more than we shape it if we are not careful.

While the time to act was from a national policy perspective was a long-ago proverbial yesterday, the time to inform yourself is always.  To this end, I will here provide a regularly-updated reading list backed by my own two-and-a-half decades of professional expertise from a wide variety of related domains.  Welcome to the Real Context News AI Reading List!
