How I'd Learn AI in 2025 (if I could start over)

[@daveebbelaar]

Thank you all for more than a million views! 🙏🏻 You can find the free roadmap here: bit.ly/data-alchemy Even though this roadmap was published some time ago, my advice today would still be exactly the same. I started learning AI 10 years ago and it was the same back then. Even though AI innovation is progressing so rapidly, the fundamentals don't change!

I am coming to AI from a long term software architect and developer point of view. I am most interested from business perspective in how to use AI to build software solutions faster, cheaper and with capabilities beyond what we have had before. You could say I am more interested in practical use of AI professionally. Now as a terminally curious ex-math major I want to know the nuts and bolts as well. But beyond knowing enough of the underlying detail to have a sense of where problems may arise my primary focus needs to be on making a difference for my client in their software stacks.

Question - what about the prerequisite Math knowledge, for breaking into AI ? I’m asking because I majored in a non-STEM subject . At which level would you incorporate the Math, in this roadmap?

[@brucewilliams2106]

calculus, vector math, numerical methods

[@GeobotPY]

Great vid! Love that you point out the disadvantages of Bopress, Flowise and other no-code/low-cod tools. Although they are great tools they lack some customizability -a lot of Botpress bots I have seen on youtube from AI automation agencies KZbinrs are just funnels within in a chatbot with a not-so-very-impressive AI element. Love that you point out AI is more than that and where real value for businesses is found!

[@SarahSocurious]

I really like your presentation style and pace. One small suggestion, slow down and emphasise jargon words and abbreviations for those new to this. It would also be beneficial to flash key words or phrases on the screen beside you talking on screen. Subtitles don’t accurately pick up on unusual vocab. I sometimes find unfamiliar words hard to hear when you speak quickly due to your accent. This is not an issue with a slower pacing on unfamiliar words. The added advantage of the key phrase words on screen is that they provide visual stimulation to increase engagement. I have been teaching sci/maths for 20 years to high school students, and visual sameness makes people less likely to stay alert, despite interest. In the flip side, text that is clear but not too shouty as that is jarring. I hope you take this as a well meaning desire to help rather than criticism. You have already made a professional looking presentation which engaged me on multiple levels. I plan to follow your course to learn about how I can use AI effectively to reduce time wastage on task creation. I much prefer to spend time learning new skills than repeating time consuming steps that should be improved. Thanks for your work. :-) Sarah, Tasmania

[@bin4ry_d3struct0r]

I started learning AI/ML back in 2020 (before the LLM hype) right around the time of the pandemic. I needed to brush up on the calculus, linear algebra and statistics I've forgotten since university. I have a beyond high-level understanding of most ML algorithms. For instance, I know ChatGPT is a decoder-only transformer architecture that calculates a probability distribution used for next-word prediction. To work in this field requires lifelong learning. I put in the work and will continue putting in the work. The idea of low code/no code "engineers" profiting off this tech is just super sus. Maybe I'm just an old man yelling at clouds.

[@bengzit]

there is one thing that I would suggest to you because I don't know who to turn to and I am not familiar with companies that deal with the production and development of AI tools, What we need is, and it's easy for those who deal with it to make such an AI, they need to make an AI that will do the sound rehearsal itself. Why pay soung guy if AI can do it. The technician puts the microphones together and connects the cables, and then the AI "tunes" the band to sound the way it should sound. This is a program that would be given some parameters, what is a good sound and what needs to be done on which instrument, which frequency to kill and which to add, simple. The program would be sold a lot because there are very few good audio engineers and this tool would be useful all over the world. Just imagine how many people today need a sound engineer but you can't find one, and those who apply for the job don't really know how to do the job properly. Therefore, if you know or are referred to someone who is involved in the production of AI tools, please suggest it to them, THANK YOU!
