How can i learn AI from the beginning?

Question

I have completed my high school and now will be going to college.For my 4 years of college I am planning to master AI but actually I have zero knowledge about it, although I will be taught about it in college but still i want to learn some basics right now as there are still some months left before I go to college, so can anyone help me with what i should do right now??

Answer 1

1. Learn Python Programming Get familiar with Python — it's the most popular language in AI. You can simply Google "How to learn Python" and you’ll find plenty of resources.

• https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/index/

2. Understand the Basics of AI and it's workflows in real world implementations. You don't need to go deep right away. Start with these beginner friendly sources: (Follow AndrewNg, he's a great AI researcher and has content on Machine Learning)

• https://www.coursera.org/learn/ai-for-everyone
• https://www.coursera.org/learn/generative-ai-for-everyone
• https://course.elementsofai.com/

3. The Math behind it all. Since you've finished high school, assuming you're comfortable in algebra and trigonometry. In college, you’ll learn calculus, probability, linear algebra, and differential equations — all of which are essential in AI for understanding how models process, understand , represent and learn from data (like neural networks). If you have time, you can start now with Khan Academy's and Prof Leonard on YouTube for your math.

4. Lastely, create a github account, and showcase your projects (let it be a simple program to a complex ML project)

You can find detailed roadmaps for AI here -- roadmap.sh and https://i.am.ai/roadmap/

So don't be daunted with the information availale online (Information overload). Pick a trusted resource and follow it.

Good luck !!

Answer 2

I recommend you to gain knowledge about usage of AI in society. Why so? By doing so you will be motivated studying AI in the near future or else it will be just math concept understanding. Or try out problem solving using AI models. Recommend visiting kaggle.

It offers real world problem to model and predict using AI models.

Tackle issues you had while growing up.(To make the supply of service unique as possible) If there is a demand for others make a computer program to solve the problem.

What university or colleage offers is knowledge and culture of what you take in course it wont automatically give you a job or make you professional.
