    Based on my years of being ML engineer, here is my thought: one of the most significant challenges for AI engineers is managing the uncertainty inherent in the work. This includes:
    1. Uncertain Outcomes: Despite extensive research and implementation efforts, AI projects may not yield the expected results, which can be highly frustrating.
    2. Experimental Nature of Work: Much of AI development involves trial and error, reading academic papers, and testing various algorithms, without any guarantee of success. But once the solution you work so hard works and get adopted, this is very rewarding experience.

    It was refreshing to see that "give up" and "switch tracks" were given as options at the end of Level 1. Discovering that a career path or track isn't for you is a good thing, and switching paths or tracks is better than plodding on and getting into a career that you don't enjoy.
    I'd love to see some suggestions (or a video) on good beginner ML projects to start wtih, especially ones that would build a good foundation and/or that can be "leveled up" to intermediate and advanced projects.

      @@exaltitudeThanks! That's helpful, but I was hoping you had an entire video just on starter projects for different AI fields of interest, but I guess this could get pretty lengthy. So, using AI to help me decide on an AI project is a good option (and very meta AI😉).

    @4:27 I always just default to projects that I would use in my daily life. I've built job application automation tools, youtube vidéo chatbots, an AI language teacher etc. Best tip for newbies is pick something you want or need and build it.

    Any tips for a mid-level data scientist to make this switch to AI engineering? It's common for data scientists to lack good software engineering skills since a lot of us don't have comp sci backgrounds (I have a MSc in math), and I only know Python, so what skills are the most important for me to get from here. Or should I just start building projects?

    • @exaltitude
      @exaltitude  6 місяців тому +4

      This advice applies to everyone starting out or career changing. Start building and learn the programming that is needed to finish the project. That’s often how software engineers work in real world. You have an advantage since you already know python and math

    Is there a way to get into AI/ML with JavaScript (using Brain.JS, Tensorflow.JS, etc)??. I'm a Frontend Dev with around 6+ yrs of experience in React & Angular. How to go ahead with it now? Or is Python Mandatory??
    Or is it a good option to not target AI/ML dev role and rather learn about consuming/integrating AI by exploring prompting techniques, Langchain.JS, etc....
