AI Expert Roadmap

Roadmap to becoming an Artificial Intelligence Expert in 2022

AMAI GmbH MIT License


Below you find a set of charts demonstrating the paths that you can take and the technologies that you would want to adopt in order to become a data scientist, machine learning or an AI expert. We made these charts for our new employees to make them AI Experts but we wanted to share them here to help the community.

If you are interested to become an AI EXPERT at AMAI (opens new window) in Germany, or you want to hire an AI Expert (opens new window), please say hi@am.ai.

# Note

πŸ‘‰ An interactive version with links to follow about each bullet of the list can be found at i.am.ai/roadmap (opens new window) πŸ‘ˆ

To receive updates star ⭐️ (opens new window) and watch πŸ‘€ the GitHub Repo (opens new window) to get notified, when we add new content to stay on the top of the most recent research.

Follow our AI Newsletter (opens new window) to stay up to date with the latest developments in AI. We cover new use cases and research topics.

# Disclaimer

The purpose of these roadmaps is to give you an idea about the landscape and to guide you if you are confused about what to learn next and not to encourage you to pick what is hip and trendy. You should grow some understanding of why one tool would be better suited for some cases than the other and remember hip and trendy never means best suited for the job.
