Hi all,
Welcome to AI Reading List #11. Here are nine more of the AI resources, updates and ideas I found most interesting this week.
Please share your own thoughts and suggestions via Twitter or email. And please pass this along to anyone you think may find it interesting.
Also, please let me know if you'll be attending TechCrunch Disrupt NY or alt-AI (more info on the latter below). I'd love to connect with you at either.
Best, Bjorn

Solid fundamental advice:
“A great bot will help relieve some kind of stress, or save a meaningful amount of time for a human.”

A new $100 chip from Google partner Movidius will let devices do vision recognition on their own hardware without needing to send it to the cloud. Huge potential gains for both speed and privacy.
