Hello, my background is just like yours. Assuming you are a total noob

I learned that AI is not like programming, where anyone with basic knowledge of computation can dive in. You can NOT just learn AI by reading other people's code.

Its like Physics, there are solid principles you need to understand before you get in.

The point: AI does not come with the "batteries included". If you are in deed a noob you MUST learn the prerequisites.

Follow these steps in order and I guarantee you will be competent with AI in six months tops.(from my past experience)

  -  1. Know what AI actually is
