Which Artificial Intelligence Newsletter Is The ‘Best’?

The image is a digital illustration featuring an envelope, partially opened, with a sheet of paper emerging from it. On the sheet of paper, there's a bright yellow square with the letters "AI" prominently displayed in black. The background is a solid, vibrant blue color. Surrounding the envelope are several colorful, floating shapes and spheres in various sizes and colors, including pink, yellow, green, and purple. These elements give the image a lively and modern feel, suggesting a theme related to artificial intelligence and digital communication.

Which artificial intelligence newsletter is the ‘best’ in the world today?

Well that depends on your definition of ‘best’. And that’s important. Because everyone’s individual ‘best’ is just a little bit different.

For instance, maybe ‘best’ for you is up-to-the-minute updates and cutting edge AI information.

Maybe you can’t get enough AI information fast enough and daily emails are just fine by you.

In that case, you want an AI newsletter like The Neuron.

Pete Huang and Noah Edelman do an absolutely exemplary job of keeping us all up-to-date on the moment-to-moment happenings in AI.

Many of which often happen in San Francisco, where they are located.

In addition to summarizing all of the absolute latest news in AI that “day,” Pete also does an absolutely amazing job of breaking down recent topics via The Neuron YouTube Channel.

Highly recommended. I subscribe myself.

So I would call this AI newsletter Option #1 for this particular ‘best’ use case.

Another option for this particular ‘best’ use case might also be the FutureTools.io newsletter by Matt Wolfe.

His newsletters don’t come out quite as often as The Neuron, but like Pete and Noah, Matt’s newsletter also summarizes all the most recent happenings in AI.

I, personally, prefer his YouTube Channel, which I affectionately refer to as the NBC Nightly News of AI. For deep conversations around things currently happening in AI the Next Wave Podcast on YouTube, which is also co-hosted by Matt Wolfe, is another great, upcoming resource.

And if Matt’s updates aren’t fast enough for you, then I encourage you to add Matthew Berman’s YouTube Channel to your AI news lineup. He puts out high-quality AI news YouTube videos almost daily.

But let’s say you’re not interested in the moment-to-moment drama happening each day in AI.

Why not? Maybe because you are an actual AI researcher, engineer, developer, educator, or data scientist who is much more interested in the specifics of the latest AI modeling techniques than who got fired at Acme AI today.

If this sounds like you, then you want to subscribe to an AI newsletter like AlphaSignal.

At 3 emails per week it’s not quite daily, and certainly not weekly, but the news that it carries is much more technical in nature. And very high-quality.

Highly recommended. I subscribe myself.

So I would call this AI newsletter Option #1 for this particular ‘best’ use case.

Another alternative might be Andrew Ng’s The Batch newsletter by DeepLearning.ai.

Now, to each of the aforementioned readers I pose the following question.

In addition to all of the up-to-the-moment, daily and semi-daily AI news that we all try to digest, is it not equally important to survey the entire landscape? At least once a week? From your OWN perspective?

I certainly thought so. And that’s why I created AI-Weekly.

Unlike our previous mentions, AI-Weekly only comes out (as you might have guessed) once a week.

And unlike our previous mentions, AI-Weekly does not provide you with a summary of all the latest news in AI.

It instead provides you with links to and abstracts from each of the actual news articles themselves.

That’s right. No dialog, no filler and no editorial. Just a chronological listing of only the most important news articles in artificial intelligence each week. Selected and abstracted by human beings with decades of experience in technology and journalism.

Think Feedly Pro+ for your inbox, at no cost, with human engineers in between to weed out all the redundancy and garbage each week.

Would a service like that have value?

As a Feedly Pro+ subscriber myself I certainly thought so. And I am very happy to report that as of this writing more than 20,000 weekly readers (and growing) seem to agree.

And lastly, what about the weekly “Top 5 Most Clicked (AI) News Articles from Last Week” section that starts off every AI-Weekly newsletter? You can’t get that kind of free, trusted, consistent, community feedback anywhere else. I use it to understand what trends readers care about most each week. And we in turn use that information to inform future editorial decisions.

Highly recommended. I subscribe myself.

So I would call this AI newsletter Option #1 for this particular ‘best’ use case.

I, personally, read all 5 of the newsletters mentioned above because my interests span the general to the technical and include the moment-to-moment, daily and weekly AI news landscapes. And these 5 newsletters are currently the very best way to stay on top of each.

Are there even more AI newsletters out there than I’ve mentioned here?

I’m certain that there are. But those that I have mentioned here are the newsletters that I personally use to stay current on AI news and trends each day and week.

Will there eventually be even more AI newsletters than there are today?

Probably. But that doesn’t mean that they will be the ‘best’ newsletter for you.

When trying to decide which AI newsletter is ‘best,’ as a reader, consider instead what you, specifically, want from an AI newsletter. And let those needs guide you.
