This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Not to derail, but may I ask how did you become an AI Engineer? I'm a software dev by trade, but it feels like a hard field to get into even if I start training for the AI part of it, because I'd need the data to practice =(
But it's such a big buzz word I feel like I need to start looking that direction if i want to stay employed.
I think this is a little paranoid. Somebody has to handle the production models - deploying them to servers, maintaining the servers, developing the APIs and front ends that provide access to the models… I don’t think software dev jobs are going anywhere
For me it helps to have a project. I learned SciKit in order to analyze trading data to beat the "market". I was focusing on crypto but there's lots of trading data available in general. Unsurprisingly I didn't make any money, but it was fun to learn more about data processing, statistics, and modeling with functions.
(FWIW I'm crypto-neutral depending on the topic and anti-"AI" because it doesn't exist.)
Ha ha I got into genetic algorithms for the same reason, market prediction. Ended up exactly at zero in terms of net gains and losses - if you don't count commissions, anyway. :(
Kaggle has some good free datasets to practice
