April Update: Streamlined Navigation, Playbooks, and 25 Voices Shaping AI
Big update today. We reorganized the entire site navigation, added a hands-on Playbooks section, and published a new Voices in AI page featuring 25 of the most influential people shaping the AI conversation. Here's everything that changed.
Navigation Overhaul
The top nav was getting unwieldy. We had 11 separate items competing for your attention, which made it harder to find what you needed, especially on mobile. We consolidated everything into three clean dropdown menus plus a Blog link:
| Dropdown | What's Inside |
|---|---|
| Courses | AI 101, AI 201 |
| Applied AI | AI Agents, Automation, MCP, Playbooks |
| Explore | AI & Careers, Future of AI, AI Resources, Voices in AI, What's New |
Same content, way less clutter. Every page is still exactly where it was -- we just organized the front door better.

The page is organized into five categories:

Pioneering Researchers
Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Yann LeCun, Fei-Fei Li, Andrew Ng, Demis Hassabis, and Stuart Russell -- the scientists whose work built the foundations of modern AI.
Public Intellectuals & Critics
Gary Marcus, Kai-Fu Lee, Cathy O'Neil, Kate Crawford, Safiya Umoja Noble, and Ruha Benjamin -- the voices asking hard questions about what AI is doing to society.
Industry Leaders & Builders
Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Cassie Kozyrkov -- the people building the AI products millions of people use every day.
AI Safety & Alignment Researchers
Max Tegmark, Eliezer Yudkowsky, and Nick Bostrom -- the thinkers focused on making sure advanced AI systems remain aligned with human values.
Content Freshness Sweep
We also completed a sweep of existing content to remove outdated references and stale promises:
- Updated stale AI model references across multiple docs
- Refreshed regulatory timeline references in the AI regulations content
- Reframed 2024 automation market stats as historical baselines rather than current data
- Removed outdated Gemini Ultra references from model comparison pages
