Warren McCulloch
Neurophysiologist who co-wrote the first mathematical model of a neural network
A neurophysiologist (1898–1969) who, with Walter Pitts, published the 1943 paper modelling nerve cells as simple logical units — the origin of the artificial neural network.

The Cybernetic Artificial Intelligence (CAI): A new scientific field for modelling and controlling Complex Dynamical Systems
Conference paper from IFAC TECIS 2024 proposing 'Cybernetic Artificial Intelligence' — the argument that AI lost something real when it dropped cybernetics, especially the difference between correlation and causation. The full text and PDF are free on ScienceDirect.

Machine Learning Mastery
Jason Brownlee's long-running tutorial site: hundreds of free, step-by-step machine learning walkthroughs in Python, organised into 'start here' guides by topic — getting set up, understanding algorithms, your first complete project, your first neural network, time series forecasting. Each tutorial is written to get you to a working result rather than a theory exam.
