What is AI?

The goal of my Artificial Intelligence “work,” such as it is, will be around discerning what AI related tools are out there, what works for *me* and what might work for *you* (whoever might read this page).  As a seasoned IT executive I want AI tools that will help me be productive, build my skills, and not destroy the planet through some dystopian SkyNet.  I don’t want my AI tools to do my work for me, I want my AI tools to help me do my work.

Less effort will be spent on image and video related AI features and programs.

Meta – Llama

As I evolve in my AI study I will update this page.  I want to begin with services that are freely available.

Tech to track:
