Heh, always fascinating to see how the term “AI” has been swallowed nigh-completely by the recent exciting developments in DL. All those papers and not a single mention of Russell & Norvig, Minsky, Shannon, Lenat, etc.!
I’m sure it’s a great list for what it is, I just wanted to be pedantic for a bit ;). If you’re interested in an introduction to AI as a broader topic, most graduate courses use the same book (Russel & Norvig) and others may publish their syllabi online.
i’ll go even further, i dont include attention is all you need in my list. i think theres always a necessary intellectual history, but sometimes when you just want to do a specific job, you just want the current thing, and you can backfill the older stuff later (which yes can bite you in the ass if you are ignorant)
