As an AI consultant, staying up-to-date with the latest developments in artificial intelligence is crucial. I often get asked about my go-to sources for AI news and information. In this post, I’ll share my favorite resources that keep me informed and inspired.

MattVidProAI’s Discord Server
This server is a goldmine for AI enthusiasts. Their ‘latest AI leaks and news’ channel is particularly valuable, providing real-time updates on emerging technologies and breakthroughs.

The AI Daily Brief Podcast
Formerly known as the AI Breakdown, this podcast hosted by NLW is a must-listen. NLW covers AI news, discourse, and op-eds shaping the AI conversation. While he has liberal leanings, he generally keeps politics out of the discussion and presents balanced viewpoints. He’s were I get my news about things like SB 1047.

YouTube Channels
I follow several YouTube channels that offer in-depth AI content:
– Matt Wolfe
– Matthew Berman
– MattVidPro
– Theoretical Media
– Bycloud
– AIFlux

These channels provide a mix of tutorials, analysis, and commentary on the latest AI trends and technologies.

AI Discord Servers
I’m active in over a dozen AI-focused Discord servers. These communities are fantastic for real-time discussions, sharing resources, and networking with other AI enthusiasts and professionals.

Google News
Google News remains a reliable source for curated AI-related articles from various publications. It’s helpful for getting a broad overview of AI developments across different industries.

Custom Content Dashboard
I’ve developed a content dashboard system that researches about five trending AI topics on Reddit daily. This tool helps me stay on top of what’s buzzing in the AI community and provides a constant stream of fresh content ideas. I offer customizations of this system to clients who want to streamline their AI content research process.

Compiling Insights
With so many sources, I often find myself with a backlog of topics to discuss. To manage this, I occasionally create review posts that compile insights on specific areas of AI. For example, I recently wrote about the state of AI video generation, covering advancements from companies like Luma Labs and Runway.

Staying informed in the rapidly evolving field of AI can be challenging, but these diverse sources help me maintain a comprehensive understanding of the latest trends, technologies, and discussions. By tapping into a mix of real-time updates, in-depth analysis, and community insights, I’m able to provide my clients with cutting-edge AI solutions and strategies.
