Seeking Guidance for My AI Career Journey

Hello AI community,

I’m passionate about building a career in artificial intelligence, but I’m feeling a bit lost on where to start. I’m looking for advice on:

  1. Recommended learning resources for AI beginners
  2. Key areas to focus on (e.g., machine learning, neural networks, natural language processing)
  3. Practical projects to build skills
  4. Potential career paths in AI
  5. How to find mentorship in this field

If anyone here has experience in AI or has gone through a similar learning journey, I’d greatly appreciate your insights and recommendations. I’m eager to learn and would be grateful for any guidance on structuring my learning path.

Thank you in advance for your help!

This is a great question, Mahek. Definitely, platforms like Coursera & Udemy have a wealth of beginner level AI courses that could be a good place to learn on your own. If you would rather prefer to have a mentor to prepare a customized roadmap and help you along, you may want to check out profiles on topmate (search for sanjan_tp_gupta), hito, LinkedIn etc. for people who are open to mentoring.

Hope this helps you and others who are new to the field of AI.

Hey. Hope your learning journey has gone well.
As a corporate professional that wanted to diversify experience. I found it helpful to read a few introductory books and apply the principles directly to work that I had done. I also found similarities between areas at school. If you reflect on subjects you have taken those can be good sources for projects.

Most of the mathematical principles are in economics and data analytics that form part of everyday life.

Reviewing Data Science cheatsheets on programming languages helped me to learn the most important areas first, then I deep dived into other aspects that I thought I would use. Courses on coursera and udemy also helped except I think you will gain best value by applying what you learn as soon as you can otherwise it can feel like expired knowledge after some time. The practice of debugging when things go wrong is sort of what helps reinforce the learning.

Best of luck :slight_smile:
