I’m an old guy. Yep that’s what I am, but I’d tell you what, I love this stuff. For the past four years, it seems like a hyper exponential dream of hype and some reality to this thang. Dude I wish I was young kid again and with that, I’d do some stuff, so I guess with that said; guys get on it, and do something good, because this moment in time will never ever happen again.

[@foefoeB]

That is exactly what I am doing! I am looking for AI certifications that Tech companies look for on resumes. Do you have any suggestions, please? :)

[@jindo.koreandog]

Thank you so much for a total AI student. I really will dive deep on the links and books that you recommend me. Thank you soooo much!

[@MB-hz7wm]

Laurence Moroney (ML, Tensor Flow), Daniel Bourke (ML + mindmaps) Andrew Ng (AI). The key is finding someone who teaches the way you learn.

[@jindo.koreandog]

@@MB-hz7wm thank you! 😀

[@RajeshKulkarni-kf2gt]

Key takeaways: 1. Learn Python 2. PyTorch 3. Supervised learning 4. Start putting these skills to use

[@sauldasc2226]

By the time you learn it, those skills will be obsolete, like graphic designer. These guys talk through wishful thinking. Give 2y max for real AI.

[@Darksagan]

@@sauldasc2226 Yeah it sucks spent years learning digital arts now its pointless...still fun though. lol

[@CarlosReyes-sb7sk]

This is very inspiring! I am a 62-year-old cybersecurity professional looking to finish my last years of service learning and doing something new and fun and more important putting it to use to add value to my company. This seems to be it, but the stigma of old age weighs on me as to how younger colleagues perceive my capabilities. I wish there was more videos like this to inspire those of us that may feel lost in the wave of changes feeling anxious to have been left behind.

[@pepaw]

I’m on my way..45, got locked into gov IT. Last month or two I’m starting to understand what I have done to myself. Last time I got a cert was MCSE 2013. I just picked up a CISSP, CCNA, but learning this AI? Feels like a mountain. But the last week or so I feel like I’m making some headway. I also have the chance to introduce this to my company and maybe get AI added to my job title. Before I started to investigate AI I was trying to become a security guy ;)

[@Johnslist]

They need to wake up to age bias and discrimination. We're all living longer, and healthier. I'm in my 50s, degreed engineer and gave up by acknowledging that age discrimination is real and 'once you're out, you're out.' But then I met people who did BIG job changes into new industries and getting good, long jobs. So I like you and this guy's encouragement. About the colleagues, except for the companies where everyone is in their twenties, I hope there isn't much of that. It is odd though that when I was in my 20s, we looked up to more experienced folks, now there's none of that. I stopped looking when I viewed a Zoom about interviewing and was told to be prepared to outline your DEI contributions...f that. Then I envisioned interviewing and being told 'your next interview is with our managing director' and a 26 year old walks in and hands me a card as 'Director of DEI'...I'd walk out (I treat everyone equally and don't judge, but I don't need BS in my face)...just get to work. Back to age, out here everything is about 'diversity' which is fine, but age (or disability) isn't one of those parameters, just race.

[@Johnslist]

@@pepaw so you probably already worked with Python, right?

[@bimka22ra]

Want to succeed in my 34, need support and group to have ideas work!

[@WisdomBridge1]

[@sayanmukherjee1977]

Finally someone actually saying what to do instead of a vague statement like - "Learn AI". This is exactly what we needed.

[@jackcarter1897]

Mike is a legend. Remember watching all his videos years ago about learning network handshakes and he was always so easy to listen and learn from. It’s an absolute pure privilege to have Mike as your tutor if you’re lucky enough. I’d take that opportunity any day.

[@miamibeach9434]

One of the best videos I've seen in a while. Mike is such a nice person, having this positive/encouraging vibe, and giving people hope. I've seen other arrogant professionals, making it seem impossible for the average person, so they can be seen as big "geniuses". Love it! God Bless you guys!

[@MeadowXRising]

lol it’s funny huh? Maybe AI will make it possible for a whole group of underdogs to rise up Ai: Absolutely! AI has the potential to empower individuals and groups, providing tools for innovation and leveling the playing field. It can open up opportunities for those who may not have had access to certain resources before. The collaboration between AI and humans could indeed contribute to positive changes and the rise of innovative underdog stories.

[@lucyfrye6723]

What I found useful after playing around with Pytorch for a few weeks was to forget about Pytorch for a while and build a little vanilla NN with just Numpy. It is one thing to see the equations and memorise them, quite another to translate them into code. I feel those were my most productive days of the learning process so far. It was only then that I truly wrapped my head around back-propagation.

[@robvp71]

Great video, I have been using / teaching Python for a long time now and I have worked on levee safety using ML and AI and it's great to see a video that mentions all the hype (because there is a lot!) and simply encourages people to start learning about AI.. reminds me again to have a look at some new courses.. thx for this video!

[@missrose0077]

Facebook is building a mega AI data center close to where I work in Indiana and it's due to be operational in 2026. From what I've read so far they're going to be tax exempt for the next 35 years and one concern is the massive amount of energy it takes to cool such a data center. I've not yet learned whether or not Duke Energy is going to be charging extra to everyone else in the area as part of another perk of building in our area. Will we be paying for it? Lots of unanswered questions. Plus, it is worrisome. We've recently seen AI used to fabricate a robocall using the voice likeness of the president to encourage people not to vote. How do you stop abuse and manipulation of this technology whether domestically or from foreign actors?

[@parenteseswebdev]

I couldn't help but noticing the electronic drumkit behind Mike 😛 (and some boardgames on the right shelf!)

[@afinney88]

Wow, this video is perfect. I asked a question on one of your last videos about AI and this video gets released and it perfectly answers everything for me. I really enjoy watching your interview videos as I seem to learn so much from them. Keep up the great work!

[@sidequestsally]

I've spent hours and hours on YT trying to find the right place to start. This was just what I needed!

[@CreepToeJoe]

This is one of the guys from the Computerphile YT channel. Really like it when he explains something, as well as the others there. 🙂

[@AiBIMSoft]

By the time someone with little to no knowledge of programming and machine learning gets to a level where they can actively and sufficiently contribute to the field, the tech will likely be sufficiently advanced to a level where it makes whatever has been learned irrelevant. Such is the speed of exponential growth, Machines will be programming themselves based on the verbal inputs from humans and we are almost there now with this with things like co-pilot and LAM's.

[@aisle_of_view]

This

[@BenOgorek]

So I’m about a third of the way through and I’m still struggling with the basic question, “What does it mean to learn AI in 2024?” I’m hearing: learn how to use the APIs, but that’s like learning how to use your PS5 controller making you a game developer. Later, the advice is to learn the basics. IDK I know the basics including computer vision and I still don’t know what it means to “learn AI” in 2024. Back to the video…

[@eckee]

Working with AI, I think it comes down to two different fields. You either develop it, or use it. Developers (not trainers) should be highly skilled, intelligent and creative to advance it. Whereas people who use AI or integrate it into a workflow is mere technicians imo. So I see a future with 2 different software developers. You're either AI specialist/technician or an AI engineer. Also, because AI is so widely available to basically anyone, I think it will be used in areas that generate most money. Such as scams, ads, porn, auto generated tiktok/YT/instagram content etc. So AI users will want to focus on easily and quickly generated content like this. Skilled people will be replace by AI that can generate the same algorithms or can just steal them. Artists are already in high danger. Their work is constantly stolen and generated by AI for a few bucks. If you're a digital artists who has a portfolio on the internet, your work is being fed into image generator AI's. Same with music. Soon, no one will bother to come up with new stuff because it will be regenerated by AI in 3 minutes after its release. And even if EU and the US make strick laws about this, it won't stop China or Russia or people who simply pirate content.

[@TheReferrer72]

Really? did Artists stop drawing because we developed photography? I tell you what will happen some artists will embrace AI and create new art forms, the space for artisans will increase not decrease. AI medium term will create many more jobs because it will broaden the economy of what is possible, creating jobs we have not even thought of.

[@eckee]

@@TheReferrer72 yes it will create jobs that will require typing what you want to create lol. Photography, AI image generation and drawing/painting are very different things. That's a stupid analogy.

[@TheReferrer72]

@@eckee It flew right over your head. AI generation of art is a different mode of art which will enable new art forms. You will still have artists doing many of the same things, while some with their better training and knowledge will push AI art to new places.

[@eckee]

@@TheReferrer72 says the guys who compares painting and AI image generation to photography.

[@pabloaguirre2169]

Very interesting remarks. I am a programmer (Lennaps), what would you reccommend me to start the ai engineering path? Thanks.

[@romevang]

Great episode, your point at 25:52 really hit home. I started my Computer Science journey back in 2010 at a local community college, life happened, and I didn't graduate until 2023. My largest regret was ignoring AI or rather aspects of it (such as machine learning) for all that time until ChatGPT 3 went live back in November of 2022. The computing landscape has changed so much from when I started in 2010 its startling but I'm hopeful and as you mentioned in your Top 5 skills video, always have to adapt and keep learning. I graduated hoping to get an IT job as my plan B but the landscape shifted and as a result I've had to pivot as well. Thanks, David, for your content I may not watch everything, but when I do watch I always learn or take something positive from it.

[@davidbombal]

You cannot change the past, but you can change your future. Make 2024 a year of change.

[@shameermulji]

Curious, what did you pivot to?

[@romevang]

​@@shameermulji For about 6 months now I've been working as a Temp/Contractor at a Print Solutions company servicing a health care facility, I was using that job to buy time, build up my skills/resume and hopefully make connections while I was there. That health care facility had a member of their IT team leave just after posting this comment. I have good rapport with them; therefore, I'm leveraging that to see if I can slot into that spot. Meanwhile, I just received a call from another company I applied to for a Network Service position. I have a 2nd interview with them next week. First interview went really well and I'm getting a good vibe from them. Worst case scenario, neither position pans out and I'll keep my current temp gig till completion (still have a few months left with options for extension or permanent hire) and in my free time I'll just keep studying/learning. Teaching myself Go Lang for an inventory project I'm working on, completing my trifecta (Security+/Network+, I've had an A+ since 2008) and just keep looking for other opportunities. If I don't find anything by the end of summer, I'll relocate.

[@molnoob3451]

Finally a practical and apply-able video on machine learning and AI. I'm an experienced data / BI professional still fairly new to python, this helps greatly on explaining the scope and pathway towards progressing in these areas striking a good middle ground between detail and generality

[@Traumatree]

I am using AI to write code faster sometime, but often, I find out I am more "discussing/correcting" with the AI about why it provided me with code that doesn't work the first time instead of giving me the right code after I challenged it 4-5 times in a row for simple use of parameters (in Powershell for example) in a function or what not. Yes it does help me because I am already a programmer and I know what I need to do and how to do it (but the AI can produce code quite faster then me), but the same AI in the hands of someone completely 'green', my gosh, the results will be catastrophic!

[@davidbombal]

Valid points. But for someone learning it can help you learn quicker I think.

[@bgg-jp5ei]

Yes it is dangerously flawed

[@brannon1030]

I completely agree. I work with AI pretty much every day writing code and I spent an hour with GPT 4 figuring out an issue and it couldn’t figure it out even when I fed it the code files. I ended up figuring it out. Turns out one of my html pages was missing the link to my styles.css! 🤦‍♂️

Great Video David. Years back my management wanted me to learn network and I took most of your udemy courses.. really enjoyed them (I learned openflow also.. oops. Got to be friends with Paul Zanna who is a great guy). I got into AI/ML about 8 years ago give or take. Really enjoy it although tempering management expectations with reality is sometimes a challenge ... the hype doesn't help there. As mentioned the "Deep Learning " book is a bit "heavy" so not for the faint of heart LOL. I love all of Andrew's courses although so agree there for sure. As far as AGI (exact definition up for debate) I think when we get there is going to be a complete guess, although with the acceleration we have seen over the last couple of years and increased investment it could be faster than predicted.

[@klebleonard]

mike really should create a course, ive been following computerphile and i love him talking about things, very straightforward

[@JackKapral]

As far as i know, there's already a law in Poland regarding intellectual rights, that if the work is AI or algorythmically generated, nobody can claim authorship of it - this is an information from artists that graduated University of Arts in Poznań, so don't know if it applies to music or something else, but most likely it does. What is really interesting to me is what if an artist trains the AI model only on his own work? :D

[@Lolatyou332]

AGI is 100% going to be in our lifetimes. It's going to be exponential not linear growth. Someone innovates the ease of use of the tools and then another person does an additional improvement, then it'll get to a point where the AI is improving the AI itself through different methods such as brute force or heuristics that typically humans would also follow.

[@gigthat]

Yes yes, please create a course Mike!

[@Mutant_Potential]

I like the discussion about levels. There are plenty of videos that will tell you to take these courses without providing a conceptual framework for what a "level up" looks like. Thanks!

This has given me a little bit better understanding of AI and how it works, though I still feel intimidated to get on board! Thanks for the breakdown.

[@prottentogo]

I have the feeling that everybody talks about smaller apps that people could create to give a little hope or something. But I feel the truth is that a) if everybody can do it, there's no value/money in it and b) I think very shortly they won't be needed anyway as the current AI models will become better. And maybe then there's nothing left to learn & gain for the non-expert.

I think there is a big omission.The first skill that need to be learned is how to do prompt LLM. I understood that the proper use of language is a crucial skill that people with no CS background can leverage when using LLM. If you can have that you have AI as copilot in your journey. Also AI is so complex that it is not really possible to know or learn all. What really matters is what are the tasks you need to solve.

I was reserved about A.I.. Now I wished I did it sooner. A.I. is here to stay. It might change, but it was A.I. that started this new revolution. A I. will be like going from typewriters to computer processing, from the cellphone to the smart phone. This is a technology that's going to help tomorrow.

[@manishk9746]

These two guys are going to be proven wrong in the next 3 years. Anyone who thinks AI is not going to continue to grow beyond a certain limit in our lifetime is living in a dream.

[@rayr268]

LLMs are mostly just poetry. Start training tasks at home on your little bit of RAM. That’s what the LLMs will control in the future

[@securiosityy]

Great video. Thank you to both of you. I appreciate the more balanced perspective Mike puts onto all this recent AI hype where so many are saying "we're going to get AGI and ASI in a year or less". Definitely worth watching the whole thing but for those interested in Mike's summary of the road map and the video summary in general, check out 42:53

[@cruises8489]

Mike is so humble. Can't wait to see his courses

[@valentinrafael9201]

I terms of copyright, I don't think there's even a question of who owns it. AI might make the generation process much faster than photoshop for example, but it is still a tool. You still have to give it something and make it generate that content. If you draw on a tablet, the art does not belong to the owner of that app, nor does it belong to the company who made the tablet.

[@proteuswave]

Dr Mike...yes please. It would be great if you created a course. I watched content on the computerfile channel and it was great

[@ginvodka3115]

Damn this is very encouraging, Mike of Computerphile generally has the same vibe as David Malan from the Harvard CS50, very passionate with Computer Science.

[@crackerjackcarnivore]

By watching your videos David, I am starting to grasp the importance of AI to our society. Something that is importance to the welfare and advancement of our society will contain many jobs on all levels. I am looking at a new career and money making opportunity. I am enthusiastic about learning the basics of AI, Python and PyTorch and getting involved in this field in a big way. And thank you Mike for sharing all your knowledge and separating the practical from the hype.

[@marcinzale]

Very interesting, as always. Thank you.

[@davidbombal]

Thank you! You're welcome :)

[@wartem]

AI is a powerful tool. With powerful tools you don't need as many employees, only the best.

[@davidjrb]

I'm liking commenting and subscribing so that Mike creates a course

[@in-sanitygamer4208]

Dr Mike Pound just helped me pass the cybersecurity and cryptography exam with flying colours. All credits to computerphile channel

[@davidbombal]

Dr Mike is amazing!

[@AlphaSierra380]

Thank a lot for the video. Clear lot question and gave HOPE that we can learn it too.

[@thatheat1914]

This was informative for good reason, no need to judge content as it seems fair to use. Good interview

[@donald-parker]

Around the 18:00 mark he talks about learning AI and saying most of what he learned, he learned by doing things rather than reading about them. Very meta. One of the central things about building better AI systems (and moving on to AGI systems) is tackling the "learning how to learn" problem.

[@DJWESG1]

Most students master it in the first year of uni, it cant be that hard to mimic the process.

[@MeadowXRising]

I think my favorite response right now to ai taking jobs is that it’s not taking jobs, it’s improving jobs!

[@aceyage]

It will eventually take all jobs.

[@williammclean6594]

Eventually nobody will need to work. It will replace every human job

[@MeadowXRising]

@@williammclean6594 I think that’s where we are getting divided. It’s still work, it just looks different than what we are used to. It’s going to be a total shift from anything we have ever known. That’s why there is a huge market right now for chat gpt prompts because people don’t even know how it works or how to talk to it.

[@MeadowXRising]

@@aceyage nooo it will create new jobs for people who decide to work with it, or around it even, however that looks… but… It’s all in how you look at it. Us humans have boundless potential and capabilities and we are so adaptive but HATE change. a lot of it is coming now that we have ai at our fingertips. I’m so excited because it’s like we have an opportunity with the help of ai to focus on new, complex, creative, and complex tasks… the intellectual leaps we are about to make are going to be wild. I’m choosing the path of adaptability and exploring all the possibilities as this new technology evolves. As a collective we have to lift each other up and stick together through these initial fears of this huge shift, and find ways to harness the benefits it brings. Humanity will find this all unsettling and resist it at first but soon it will be normal again. I think there will also be a place for those who choose not to work with it, but it will come later as the newness fades. There will always be a place for times past and things that evoke nostalgia. A preference for human made without the assistance of ai maybe? I would say that would be more artistic endeavors though, maybe other things too where the work of genius human minds that cannot be predicted by ai because they are always pushing outside of the box. But I do believe those same people could also do incredible things with ai, pushing the limits of all we’ve ever known in ways that don’t even exist yet, because ai already has everything that has already existed easily accessible. Just my morning thoughts… hope it makes sense!

[@MeadowXRising]

Here’s what I said to ChatGPT after I wrote that : does any of this make sense? Or should I go back to sleep… 😂 ChatGPT: Your thoughts make sense and reflect a thoughtful perspective on the interplay between adaptability, technology, and human creativity. The acknowledgment of initial resistance, the potential for new opportunities, and the enduring value of human craftsmanship and creativity are well-articulated. It's a balanced view that captures the evolving dynamics of human-AI collaboration. Always hyping me up. I love it. ✨🫶🏻💕🥹 Today’s gonna be a good, productive day.

[@Sung-ho9]

Thank you for this amazing & useful conversation! You have gave me a hope to learn ML and AI!

[@mo.mousavi]

I would definitely like Mike to create a course on AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning. I would appreciate that. :)

[@wirotep.1210]

I am a fan of Mike (Computerphile). Thank you for a good talk.

[@adamkhan922]

Andrew Ngs machine learning specialisation course is not for complete beginners. The jump from his AI for everyone course to the machine learning specialisation course is huge

[@ligerllama]

Informative conversation - Thank you, gentlemen. 👍

[@djstr0b3]

Dr Mike, please do an online course on AI.

[@BloodlinesNewTimes]

Faster for people to know if they don't care about the subject as hobby job or free time social activities or think a short sum up will always be enough for a concept you are familiar with... Well this fast can become unrecognizable

[@duckyguy1147]

Any course by Dr. Mike Pound is gonna be a gem.

[@light-water]

I want to create the first full AI music platform that utilizes sensors that measure your brain waves and produces perfect frequencies to light up your brain and induce sensations based on your inputs.

[@mStargazin]

Interesting

[@birgirkarl]

Excellent video. Discussion that focuses on practical and well grounded viewpoints.

[@koenio]

The ai will most likely become better and better at understanding your prompts as well. Just like any other source you train it on. So I have some trouble to see why you need to learn the underlying mechanics

[@danielvest9602]

I think that AI models just like people in professions are going to need to be trained specifically for those professions. The major fails that I've seen involving AI are all because people used add generic large language models for something like law or engineering instead of an AI that was trained on just that subject.

Hardwire the 3 laws of robítics , and a safety switch to detect if these have been violated .... If so, it shuts the A,i. Down 4:41

[@stephenEs3532]

ai but you cant shutdown AGI when its real lol

[@ZeryusXD]

Thanks! Knowing all this information will help someone navigate where they want to be in tech and AI

[@jasonranalliheadshots6875]

This is literally one of the most valuable videos around the topic of AI I have yet to see. Mike Pound has the amazing ability to explain things without hiding behind tech buzzwords or hype. This brings the entire AI revolution a bit more down to earth and pulling the curtain back on some of these AI products which are little more than programming wrappers around someone else’s models. There is still a lot of space for growth here from a programming/tech job perspective.

[@YueZeng-nk4pm]

Mike and lots of people believe learning Python is really important. But Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has once again announced the death of coding. Do you have any comment on this?

[@soffwhere]

Nice to meet you, I’m not Mike. Now that that’s out of the way, I always ask myself what people have to gain by making broad and bold claims like this. AI is here to stay, and it has 2 components. Hardware and software. NVIDIA’s CEO (a hardware guy) is always going ti be a software doomer. Just my 2 cents!

[@pavi647]

Hi!! I was planning to learn the cloud computing for Cyber security and get a certification as a beginner, so which is the path and where do i need to start and which is the best platform. Can you please provide a RoadMap and resources please.

it's super impossible to leave loving technology when these rockstars of tech meet !

[@alfredoolmedo744]

David, Thanks for another great video.

[@majiddehbi9186]

real y this gentelman should give some courses so clearly explained thx David

[@AlbertStraub]

I love Python! Best to use the math libraries. The Python code is basically a wrapper around C code that runs much faster and is vetted.

[@Price_Digital]

We will see it in the next 4 - 6 years! Guaranteed!!

[@jtmuzix]

I think clisp is an amazing programming language. LISP is the shizzy! Python is ok, but it's kind of over rated and you definitely need a linter because YOU WILL get the white space wrong. Any real programming language does NOT penalize you for inprorper use of whitespace. It forces a coding style which bugs me. clisp is really cool but I digress, learn C. Then jump into python. Learn how to solve problems using computer logic and the code will become easy.
