Your (Favorite) AI Digest - Newsletter
Welcome to the “Make AI Accessible” newsletter by Louis-François Bouchard, CTO and co-founder at Towards AI (me), now followed by more than 30'000 AI enthusiasts! I know there are already a lot of newsletters, but this one is different. I will be sharing only one technique, news, paper or project per week, but we cover it from A to Z, including:
a video explaining it
a complete article about it
the links to the paper, demo, and code (if applicable)
full references
some bonus projects I am working on
AI Ethics segments with experts
Some context about me…
My AI journey began in 2019 during my systems engineering degree, when I won an emoji classification competition and discovered a passion for applying research to real-world problems. In 2020, I pursued a Master’s in AI, became Head of AI at a startup, and launched a YouTube channel to teach AI concepts. These experiences revealed a gap between academia and industry, inspiring me to co-found Towards AI in 2022 to bridge that divide. In 2024, I left my PhD in medical AI to focus on building real-world AI solutions. Creating impactful AI products requires more than research. This is why the Towards AI team of experts and I have identified the essential tech stack for adapting a large language model (LLM) to a specific use case and achieving a sufficient threshold of accuracy and reliability for scalable use by paying customers. With Towards AI Academy and some key projects in our pipeline, like our From Beginner to Advanced LLM Developer course to our book and this newsletter, I aim to help you develop this toolkit.
