How to became an AI Expert

Answer 1

Wow! You’re well on your way! You certainly don’t need any degree to become an “expert” in AI (or any other field). However, if what you want is to land a high paying job and/or become well-known in the field, then, yes and advanced degree can help a lot. When I was executive director of the NYNEX AI lab back in the mid-80’s through the 90’s, I hired someone for the AI lab with only two years as an undergraduate and it was the right decision, but there aren’t many hiring managers like me. ;) Typically, a Ph.D. will come with both a higher salary and more independence about what you do.

AI problems are difficult and if one of your goals is to advance the field, you will most likely need to work as part of an interdisciplinary team. For that reason, communication skills such as writing, speaking and *listening* skills can also prove invaluable. If you are *interested* you might find it worthwhile to learn something about neuroscience and/or cognitive psychology. Solving a specific AI problem does not require that the solution be anything like how humans do it, but it can still be a source of ideas even if humans serve as a “bad example.” You might try Kahnemann’s book “Fast and Slow Thinking” or Dan Ariely, “Predictably Irrational” which are quite accessible and have worthwhile information on how people work which will be valuable to you in life apart from your profession but can also help you determine whether you are interested in the psychology side of things. It is clear that for AI systems to be successful, they need to be designed with human beings in mind. Along these lines, you might enjoy my *fictional* scenarios about possible ethical, political, economic, and social implications of AI in “Turing’s Nightmares.” Good luck!
