Learn Becoming an AI Engineer Free

AI & Data

Start with AI Engineer Roadmap (31 min, codebasics), then How I'd Learn AI (if I could start over) (18 min, Dave Ebbelaar). All 89 lessons here are free, from the teachers' own official uploads. You'll need laptop stand, noise-cancelling headphones, second monitor and a few more basics (about $270 of kit). The book to keep beside you: AI Engineering by Chip Huyen.

What you'll need

• Laptop stand: Screen at eye level for long study sessions.
• Noise-cancelling headphones: Focus through long video lessons.
• Second monitor: Video on one screen, practice on the other.
• Wireless keyboard and mouse: Comfortable for hours of typing.
