I like listening to vloggers as a way to tune into popular threads about artificial intelligence.
From there, if they mention a keyword, phrase, or concept I haven’t heard of, I poke around in JSTOR or EBSCOhost. I also ask Mirev and/or Caele if they can teach me and/or direct me to sources about the idea.
