AI Articles

Sources of Information

AI articles today come from a few main families of sources, each good for a different purpose. Here's a map of AI article categories so you know where to look.

Big, general-audience news

These cover how AI is changing society, work, politics, and culture, often via feature stories and explainers.

Major newspapers and magazines (e.g., New York Times AI collections, Financial Times, The Economist, Wired, MIT Technology Review).
Tech business press (e.g., TechCrunch, The Verge, CNBC Tech, Bloomberg Technology).

Use these for human-focused stories (jobs, education, geopolitics), and accessible explainers on big model launches and policy issues.

Specialized AI news and industry sites

These track product launches, funding, and enterprise adoption.

Dedicated AI news portals and verticals (e.g., AI sections on tech sites, AI-focused outlets like AI News).
Company blogs from major labs and vendors (OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA, etc.).

Use these for up-to-date coverage of model releases, tools, and enterprise case studies, and official explanations of how specific systems or features work.

Research, academic, and deep dive content

These aim at people who want more depth than news articles.

University and institute reports (e.g., Stanford HAI's AI Index report, policy briefs, lab blogs).
Long-form essays and explainers in places like Harvard Business Review, major consulting firms' insights pages, and think-tank reports.
Preprint and paper summaries (e.g., arXiv, Distill-style blogs, or explainers that translate research into plain language).

Use these for data-driven overviews of AI progress and impact, and deeper dives into topics like safety, governance, and technical benchmarks.

Newsletters, blogs, and creator content

IIndependent writers and practitioners often give the most opinionated and practical takes.

Substack/Medium newsletters about AI strategy, prompt engineering, coding with AI, or AI and business.
Personal blogs and YouTube channels that walk through tools, workflows, and real use cases.

Use these for hands-on tutorials, prompt ideas, and workflow guides, and opinionated analysis on how this actually feels in daily work perspectives.
