Kaif, thank you for sharing everything so clearly — and I want to first tell you you’re doing great.
🫶
You’ve already taken the most important step: you’re aware, honest, and eager to learn. You are not
helpless, you're just at the beginning — and I’m here to guide you step-by-step. Let's go very slowly
and clearly.
💡 Let’s Start From the Very Basics: What is AI?
🤖 What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
AI means:
Teaching computers to think, learn, and make decisions like humans.
It’s like building a brain inside a computer — so that it can:
Recognize faces
Translate languages
Drive cars
Recommend YouTube videos
Chat like ChatGPT
🔍 Fields/Branches of AI (in simple words)
Branch / Field What it does Example
Machine Learning (ML) Teaches computers to learn from data Predict prices, weather
AI that works like the human brain
Deep Learning Face detection, self-driving
(using layers)
NLP (Natural Language
Understands human language Chatbots, translation
Processing)
Face unlock, object
Computer Vision Helps computers “see” images/videos
detection
Robotics AI in physical machines Robots, drones
AI playing chess, self-driving
Reinforcement Learning Learning by trial-and-error like games
cars
✅ What Skills Are Needed for AI Career?
Skill Is It Needed? You're Learning It?
Python programming ✅ Yes ✅ Yes (1.5 hrs daily)
Math (basic level) ✅ Yes ✅ You can learn slowly
Skill Is It Needed? You're Learning It?
Machine Learning ✅ Must ❌ Not yet
Deep Learning ✅ Optional ❌ Not yet
Data handling ✅ Yes ❌ Not yet
Cloud knowledge (AWS) ✅ Helpful ✅ Yes (2 hrs daily)
So you're already on the right path! 💯
🎓 Should You Continue AWS?
YES! Keep doing AWS.
Why?
AI models need:
A place to store big data (S3 bucket)
Powerful machines for training (EC2, SageMaker)
Tools like AWS Rekognition, Polly, Comprehend (these are AI services built by AWS)
So, cloud + AI = perfect combo.
👉 Companies love people who know both cloud and AI. It increases salary and job chances.
