How we choose
Every source passes five tests: an accountable publisher, free to watch, active or still accurate, accuracy over hype, and a neutral mix so no single company dominates.
- Tier A: Institutional (universities, government, standards bodies, nonprofits)
- Tier B: Platform (AI labs and cloud vendors teaching their own tools)
- Tier C: Independent (educators and journalists with a track record)
Links are checked every week. Vendor items are tagged so you always know who is teaching.
