For the deep learning frameworks:

  • make it more clear that these should be used for any serious deep learning; NumPy isn't the right library beyond learning.
  • Remove Swift for TensorFlow (Google abandoned it), add MXNet, and order frameworks in the order we'd want to recommend them.

For the ethics section: this is of pretty fundamental importance, and at least some pointers should be provided in introductory ML/AI
resources so people new to the field at least are aware it's a thing and can explore the topic.

Thanks @rgommers +1 for both the stronger wording about other DL libraries and the section on ethics w/ links to resources.

I'm +1 to merge but will wait until @8bitmp3 has had a chance to look things over.

PS - CI failures unrelated (executablebooks/MyST-NB#333)
