The poster's looking for articles, so this recommendation's a bit off the mark. I learned more from participating in a few Kaggle competitions (https://www.kaggle.com/competitions) than I did from reading about AI. Many folks in the community shared their homework, and by learning how to follow their explanations I developed a much more intuitive understanding of the technology. The first competition had a steep learning curve. I felt it was worth it. The application of having a specific goal and the provided datasets made the problem space more tractable.
