Learning about technology—especially AI—doesn’t happen in a vacuum. That’s why, as AI adoption grows, more professionals and hobbyists want to find like-minded people to deepen their machine learning knowledge and investigate AI trends. Historically, this might be through in-person meetups or live lectures. Over the past several years, thanks to the internet, more people have found these AI communities online through applications like Discord.
Discord is an application that allows communication through voice calls, video calls, text messages, and media. Each community is called a server and often centers around a specific topic or project, like AI or machine learning.
To get you started, we’ve rounded up a list of 10 AI Discord servers you can join to expand your overall AI knowledge.
