30 Best AI YouTube Channels to Follow in 2026
Every channel below was checked against its own feed: how many videos it has published, how often it actually uploads, when it last did, and how much of it is genuinely about AI. Measured across 1,443 videos, not assembled from other people's lists.
How this list was built
We track 46 YouTube channel feeds. 30 made this page. Three rules decide it, applied without exception:
- At least 10 collected videos — below that, any figure for cadence or AI focus is noise.
- Something published in the last 60 days. Abandoned channels are the defining flaw of every list like this one. A dead channel feed still resolves and still looks perfectly healthy on YouTube.
- At least 25% of recent video titles must name an AI topic. This is the rule the other lists skip. Plenty of excellent technology channels barely cover AI — and they are exactly the famous names a hand-written list reaches for.
8 active channels were excluded by that third rule alone — still uploading, still worth watching, just not about AI often enough to belong on a list with this title.
All 30, ranked by how much is really AI
Ranked by the share of each channel's recent video titles that name an AI topic — measured across 1,443 video titles, with the count shown on every row so you can check it. It is not a quality ranking. A well-made channel with a wide remit sits below a narrower one, which is the point: this answers "how much of this will be about AI?", not "is it any good?".
Measured from titles, so it undercounts a channel that covers AI in a video without saying so in the title. It is a floor, not a ceiling — and it is measured rather than asserted, which is more than a hand-written list can offer.

The 14 that publish most often
Most channels post weekly. These upload at least twice a week, measured from our own crawl rather than from what the channel notes claim: Cole Medin (2.4/wk), DeepLearningAI (3.8/wk), Sam Witteveen (2/wk), edureka! (3.4/wk), Matthew Berman (7/wk), Prompt Engineering (3.5/wk), OpenAI (11.8/wk), Matt Wolfe (5.5/wk).
Follow them all at once
Subscribing to 30 channels one at a time is nobody's idea of a good time. One button adds the starter pack to our reader instead — free, one email to sign in, no password. New uploads arrive as a feed rather than an algorithm.
Prefer to pick your own? The Follow button on each row adds just that channel, and every row links its raw RSS feed — YouTube publishes one for every channel, which is what makes this page possible.
Submit a channel
Running an AI channel that is not here? Send the feed URL to akshay@hushflowai.com. It appears once it clears the same two rules as everything else — at least 10 videos and something published within 60 days. Position is computed from AI-centrality, so it cannot be requested or bought.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best AI YouTube channels in 2026?
We track 30 that are still actively publishing. By AI-centrality the most AI-focused are AI Explained, The TWIML AI Podcast with Sam Charrington, All About AI, IndyDevDan, Cole Medin.
How do you decide which channels make the list?
At least 10 collected videos and something published within 60 days. 8 of 46 tracked channels did not qualify.
Are these ranked by quality?
No. They are ranked by how much of each channel is actually about AI, which we can measure. Quality is a judgement we cannot.
Is the list kept up to date?
It is rebuilt from the feeds themselves, so a channel that stops publishing drops off rather than sitting here for years. Last verified 2026-08-03.
