An interesting excerpt of a lecture series on applied AI in games, which delves into a practical tutorial that teaches how to program your own Starcraft AI client. This resource provides a very comprehensive overview and intuition on how AI systems can be built against games, and although a full reinforcement-AI-based system is not developed within this lesson specifically, it will provide with the tools and directions to develop towards that milestone for anyone interested.

An excellent tutorial that covers a popular trend in the Kubernetes space, applied towards the intuition behind scaling ETL pipelines. It shows how to use the KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaler) to scale a celery/rabbit-mq based ETL system.

The topic for this week's featured production machine learning libraries is GPU Acceleration Frameworks. We are currently looking for more libraries to add - if you know of any that are not listed, please let us know or feel free to add a PR. The four featured libraries this week are:
- Vulkan Kompute - Blazing fast, lightweight and mobile phone-enabled GPU compute framework optimized for advanced data processing usecases.
- CuPy - An implementation of NumPy-compatible multi-dimensional array on CUDA. CuPy consists of the core multi-dimensional array class, cupy.ndarray, and many functions on it.
- Jax - Composable transformations of Python+NumPy programs: differentiate, vectorize, JIT to GPU/TPU, and more
- CuDF - Built based on the Apache Arrow columnar memory format, cuDF is a GPU DataFrame library for loading, joining, aggregating, filtering, and otherwise manipulating data.

As AI systems become more prevalent in society, we face bigger and tougher societal challenges. We have seen a large number of resources that aim to takle these challenges in the form of AI Guidelines, Principles, Ethics Frameworks, etc, however there are so many resources it is hard to navigate. Because of this we started an Open Source initiative that aims to map the ecosystem to make it simpler to navigate. You can find multiple principles in the repo - some examples include the following:
