Wondering what are the things one has to learn if someone wants to be an AI professional. Some research shows that Python knowledge is expected. Apart from this, can anybody suggest what are the other things to learn?
Great question. Python is definitely a good starting point, but being an "AI professional" is really about understanding a few core areas:
• Data fundamentals — how data is structured, cleaned, and prepared
• Machine learning basics — models, training, evaluation
• Prompting and LLM understanding — huge skill today
• Real-world problem framing — knowing when and why to use AI
In the real world I have found most people don't really know AI or how to apply it. But I would suggest to start simple with what you know and what you are good at / interested in then build your skills from there...
