Week 6 - MKTG 348 - Adept (AI - Blog #10)



The final part of facing the reality of AI is to adept.  Learn how to become directly involved with artificial intelligence.  The most integral part of AI is the software.  Start learning how to code and write the software that powers the AI and helps it to learn.  While this may seem like a daunting task, it can become easier. 

A simple way to get your hands wet is by learning how to design a drag-and-drop website.  These platforms allow you to use templates and design sites without knowing any code.  You can also join website that teach you coding.  No longer are the days where you have to sit in a classroom to learn how to code.  You can do it anywhere, from the comfort of your home or even on your lunch break, through apps, websites, books, and even games.  Some people even think code will eventually be written by other computers, but someone had to write that computer’s code in the first place, right?  After you have learned code, you can start writing software for AI machines.  These machines have to learn, which means that you can always write, and re-write, their codes to help them learn.  While data can seem overwhelming right now, think of how much more overwhelming it will be when you absolutely need to know how to write software and analyze data.  What data programs should you know?  Start looking at jobs with longevity at companies you are interested in.  What kind of skill requirements are in the job description?  That might give you a great jumping off point.  From there, what are some of the top tech companies using to write their AI machines?  It is all about learning what will have longevity and help you get your skills from nonexistent, to basic, to advanced.  Who knows, maybe one day you will be the one writing software everyone needs to know!
