Welcome to the AI 101 website
AI 101, also known as Learn and Do with Peter, was an AI Salon guild active from about December 2023 to December 2024. This website was used to host useful resources for that community, and you may still find useful and interesting information here. Your host is Peter Kaminski.
I now have a top-level link list of my AI resources, see https://peterkaminski.ai.
