I met Jan Korsanke at the IA Konferenz in Berlin 2017, where he talked about current AI developments and capabilities. I was intruiged and as he's a genuinely nice person, he provided me with source material to start understanding Artificial Intelligence better, than he could squeeze into his half hour talk. I gladly forward his recommendations to you:
