Content for the glossary on artificial intelligence and machine learning is regularly reviewed for currency. We feature different sources in a revolving cycle. Custom-glossaries and learning materials are also produced on request.
To support the training, learning materials and workshops, we include a range a range of references to cater for different audiences we work with. It is important the general public have an accurate understanding and awareness of AI, and we therefore also include easy guides. We reference popular guides on Wikipedia, but please note any referencing for definitions and explanations given.
