Although artificial intelligence may seem like a very broad and challenging topic to take on, there are actually many ways you can begin to learn about AI concepts or simply just play around with it! Here are some great resources for those just familiarizing themselves with AI or want to learn more about it.
Fun!
If you just want to play around with AI and see it in action, the following links are great places to find interesting AI models to investigate and have fun with. From AI-generated faces, to AI assisted image editing, the possibilities are endless!
- https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/
- This site uses artificial intelligence to generate a face that has never been seen before. To see more faces, keep hitting refresh!
- https://tenso.rs/demos/fast-neural-style/
- This site uses artificial intelligence to transform any image using different art styles. Upload your own image and watch the magic happen!
- https://experiments.withgoogle.com/collection/ai
- Google has a variety of different artificial intelligence experiments that you can check out here. They range from auto-drawing to writing predictions.
- https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/research/ai-playground/
- Nvidia also has an AI Playground where they display a few of their projects and research.

Neural Networks
A neural network is the way that AI systems mimic the neurons in our brain. A neural network generally consists of multiple “layers” of digital “neurons” that act as filters for information in order to classify it properly by an artificial intelligence algorithm. These two sites are great ways to visualize and play around with neural networks!
- http://scs.ryerson.ca/~aharley/vis/conv/
- This site is a great way to illustrate how natural networks work. Write any number, and the neural network will predict which number you wrote.

- Customize your own neural network with this site. Add or subtract layers, mess around with the number of neurons in each layer, and watch the end result!

Learn More
And of course, for anyone who really wants to dig into the details of artificial intelligence, here are a few free online AI courses that you can take and resources in general to learn more about how you can begin developing your own AI model!
- https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/crash-course
- Google has a comprehensive crash course for those familiarizing themselves with artificial intelligence and machine learning.
- https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning
- This is another course offered by Stanford that also covers supervised learning, AI algorithms, and more!
- https://pytorch.org/tutorials/
- Pytorch is a common open source library used in developing machine learning. Their site also includes some useful tutorials.
