Step 1: Understanding AI Basics

What is AI?

Artificial Intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines.

Key Concepts:

• Machine Learning: Training algorithms to learn from data.

• Deep Learning: A subset of ML using neural networks with many layers.

• Natural Language Processing: Enabling machines to understand human language.

Recommended Resources:

• Books:

  • "Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans" by Melanie Mitchell

• Online Courses:

  • Coursera: AI For Everyone by Andrew Ng

Step 2: Hands-On Practice

Tools to Explore:

• Google Colab: An online platform to write and execute Python code.

• TensorFlow Playground: A visual tool to experiment with neural networks.

Example Exercise:

Create a simple machine learning model using Google Colab.

• Goal: Predict house prices based on features like size, location, etc.

• Steps:

  • Import libraries

  • Load dataset

  • Train and evaluate the model

Step 3: Join AI Communities

Networking:
