Hi all, just trying to get a feel for different paths into the field! Any info on courses, self learning, other resources etc. welcome!
Hello everyone. Although I am still a high school student, I am very interested in AI, especially AGI. In the future I am planning on becoming an AGI researcher, unlike most people who are interested in AI, who usually want to become software engineers implementing AI or narrow AI researchers (that is very interesting too, but personally I like creating things, and as AGI doesn't exist yet, I find the thought of working on it quite fascinating). When I go to university I will probably study one or more of these subjects: Mathematics, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Physics, etc. (these are also the fields I think AGI will emerge from).
I was told that the best way to learn and gain knowledge is to connect with other like minded people. I was thinking of creating a Discord server (or some group chat on another app), where a few people like us could talk to each other, share ideas, work together etc.
I know this subreddit and a lot more are already dedicated to that, but I am looking for people whose interests are more aligned with mine, and I am sure that server or group would also not have many members, meaning it would be more personal, which I think is better.
Thanks for reading and please let me know if you would be interested :)
I am very interested in becoming an AI/AGI researcher and wanted to ask what the best way to achieve that is in your opinion. I was thinking of taking the Machine Learning Course on Coursera by Andrew Ng and afterwards the Deep Learning one by him as well (would you also take these courses or do you have some other recommendations?). Whenever I encounter math which I don't understand, I will try to learn it (probably with Khan Academy). As I am still in high school I am self studying, but I am going to try to go to university. Will a mathematics or computer science degree be more helpful in my goal of creating AGI in your opinion? etc.
Thanks
How much of the theory has been implemented? Is it even still a separate project or has it been folded into something else, like Hanson Robotics?
