Artificial Intelligence or AI career opportunities have emerged rapidly in almost every industry. Due to its ever-increasing demand, AI has created tons of job opportunities and a promising career. In this article, we will discuss how one can start their career in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Before that let’s see what exactly the term Artificial Intelligence is with few real-life examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defining Artificial Intelligence with examples<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer technology that focuses on creating intelligent machines that can perform tasks that are usually done by humans. Here, such machines are made in such a way that they mimic human behaviour, that can behave like a human, think like a human, and are also capable of decision making. Artificial Intelligent machines are made to analyse and learn human behaviour patterns and adapt according to the tasks that the machine has to perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We humans deal with AI machines every now and then without actually noticing them. Following are some real-life examples where AI is being used on daily basis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Face Detection and Recognition<\/li>
  2. Text Editors or Auto-correct<\/li>
  3. Search and Recommendations<\/li>
  4. Self-driving cars<\/li>
  5. Google Maps and Ride-Hailing applications (like Uber, Ola Cabs, Meru Cabs, etc.)<\/li>
  6. Electronic Payments<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The basic objective of AI is to enable computers or machines to perform intelligent tasks so as to minimize human efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Educational Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Aspirants with computer technology and math background form the basic foundation of most artificial intelligence programmes. At least a bachelor\u2019s degree in mathematics, computers or information technology is enough for entry-level jobs in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aspirants should first strive for BE\/BTech in Computer Engineering, BE\/BTech in Information Technology or Diploma in Computer Science\/IT or other related fields. If a degree program is what you are looking for, then seek that degree that offers specific majors in artificial intelligence, or pursue AI specialization with majors like computer\/information technology, or engineering. Students should pursue education with subjects related to math, technology logic and engineering perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A college degree is not just the qualification required in building a career in artificial intelligence. With the advancement of the internet, there are enormous resources where students can gain additional skills and knowledge in AI. It is possible to learn almost anything from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some of the top-notch companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, just don\u2019t rely on college degrees. They are always in search of those candidates who are passionate, self-driven and are eager to take initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Building a Career in Artificial Intelligence<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    As a fresher \u2013<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    One should get a bachelor’s degree in one of the following streams \u2013 Computer Science, Information Technology, Mathematics and Statistics, Data Science, or related fields. Apart from a bachelor\u2019s degree, one must be talented in analytical skills, problem-solving skills, critical thinking, good industry knowledge and effective communication skills. There are many online and offline courses to achieve this or take up a master’s degree. (More about AI courses is mentioned below)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A master\u2019s degree \u2013<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If anyone is looking for leadership roles, then go for a Master\u2019s degree or PhD. A Master\u2019s degree will provide advanced education in the field of computer science and information technology along with specialization in artificial intelligence. The Master\u2019s degree in artificial intelligence will offer one of the best possible starts in the career of AI. Such programmes focus on developing professionals who become experts in solving real-life problems and application domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a working professional \u2013<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    For a working professional in the IT sector, it is important to polish technical skills. To enter into the AI field or to become an AI engineer, one needs to learn the latest skills and technological trends. In this field, along with theoretical understanding, people have a great grasp of practical knowledge. Additionally, certification courses will provide strong support while seeking jobs in AI. Few of the AI certification courses are – Foundation of AI, Machine Learning Guide, Data Analysis with Python\/R, and other courses too. (More about AI certification courses – later in this blog)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
