DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is transforming industries and creating
  new opportunities across software engineering\, data science\, research\,
  product development\, and domain-specific applications. At the same time\
 , the path into AI can feel overwhelming because of the rapid pace of new 
 tools\, models\, and technologies.This talk will provide a practical roadm
 ap for building skills and career momentum in AI. It will cover the founda
 tional technical areas needed for modern AI work\, including programming\,
  data analysis\, machine learning fundamentals\, deep learning concepts\, 
 generative AI\, and model evaluation. The session will also discuss differ
 ent AI career pathways\, ways to build relevant experience\, and strategie
 s for preparing for AI/ML technical interviews or transitioning into AI-fo
 cused roles. A key theme of the talk will be that successful AI careers ar
 e built not only on understanding models\, but also on solving meaningful 
 problems\, communicating clearly\, and building\nreliable systems that peo
 ple can use and trust. Attendees will leave with actionable guidance for d
 eveloping their AI skill set and identifying practical next steps toward A
 I-related opportunities.\n\nSpeaker(s): Sanchari\n\nVirtual: https://event
