To be honest, thank God for online Masters in Comp Sci that have concentrations in AI/ML (most notably Georgia Tech, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and University of Texas Austin). Whlst this will never equal getting a Ph.D., you will definitely have a strong ML background upon completing these programs.

[@millertime6]

These are the types of experts we should be listening to. Super insightful look at AI and what we need to evolve in the field. 👏🏽

[@subhankarbhattacharjee6362]

Moumita is an exceptional AI/Machine learning scientist at Netflix. Her KZbin video showcases her passion for the field and her dedication to educating students. With a strong mathematical foundation and a PhD in AI, she provides valuable insights into decision-making and the essential skills for AI jobs. Her ability to design AI-based biological models demonstrates her expertise and interdisciplinary approach. Moumita's informative interview sheds light on AI and her commitment to sharing knowledge is commendable. She is truly an asset to our family.

I don't have strong computer skills and will be starting from scratch, but I have a deep love for physics, mathematics, and further mathematics. These courses spark my curiosity and drive me to find solutions to problems, creating enjoyable moments for scholars like me. I am particularly fascinated by AI and its impact on individuals like me.

Hey bro!!! What are you into now? Are you learning the skills in machine learning? Actually I'm also a graphic designer and I started to feel like ai will overcome us in graphic design. So I've decided to pursue my career in ai engineering as I feel like ai industry is gonna affect each and every industry. Whether it be 2d or 3d designing or editing or whatsoever. So I was also stuck at which career I should choose that shouldn't be affected by the advancement of ai tech. So I've decided to study ai engineering itself. Or atleast something related to the ai industry. So what are your perspectives? What are your plans?

Im a high school student and to be fair,im entering my last year of high school.I have no experience in coding/programming and im an absolute beginner in computer science (emphasis on absolute).I watched another video of yours and it explained how its very hard and competitive as a job,and that its difficult to even find a job,and honestly to me that was extremely intimidating and overwhelming.What do you suggest i do? Quite frankly,i dont know wether i like this field and job,im only interested because throughout my life ive been decent at math and i dont hate it like most people do,that and the fact that it offers good pay.What should i do now? Should i begin learning some programming language (my friend suggested i learned web development to maybe have a small lead or an idea of whats to come in uni after this year).Or should i pursue another career/job option inside the field of Computer science?What tips do you have for someone like me,who as of now doesnt have any experience in coding or anything like that,and quite frankly made it through school mostly through logic and tutoring rather than actual hard work and organised studying?(not that im some genius who didnt work at all,cuz obviously im nowhere near to that,but ive always been told i have knack for stuff like that and to be fair i didnt face much challenges in school,that and coupled with the fact that ive always been tutored/on courses since young,made me really not accostumed to any study/work routines)

There is no certainty, unless you want to be researcher titles are kind of useless in tech industry.

[@ArunKumar-jc9mu]

bro this is very generic advice. i wanted to know what tools to use? whether to go towards computer vision, or due to emerging trend go towards large language models. which ml/ai vertical (cv, nlp, rl, etc) is being used by majority of the companies. being an ml engineer requires you to know about mlops stuff. so do we use the cloud based services that come with integrated solutions for building ml pipelines or do we lean onto learning opensource tools for each of the stages of mlops - mlflow for model/data tracking, kubeflow for deployment and orchestration, airflow for managing the ml project. what you discussed in the video is a generic advice to somebody who wants to do data stuff (data scientist, data engineer). ml engineer is a very specific role which requires to put ml knowledge into applications that are catered for users at scale. i am disappointed with this video. didn't help me much. thanks regardless.

it sorta seems like you're in denial about the requirements for some of these positions going forward. even though some people claim self-taught is ok, it likely isn't at this point. everything i've read says you'll likely need an advanced degree. it just sounds like you don't want to accept this reality.

[@luisbarrett6106]

You don't need a PhD for a ML engineer job, instead you need a lot of experience in data analysis, or software engineer. She's an IA Scientist, and in order to do research you do need a PhD, she's just lying in some questions bc she doesn't know about applied roles in industry

[@climbersisyphus]

@@orangemoonglows2692 ive seen a lot of openings that do not ask for a PhD but okay. Also its very unrealistic to think that machine learning engineering is only PhD graduates. It’s an applied role and likely not all PhD students are also going to do specifically a data science degree. A lot of people can fit the criteria without a PhD if you isolate the skills needed. That’s basically the entire field of software engineering nowadays.
