As someone in AI, which concept blew your mind away when you first learnt about it?

Use Grad-CAM to explain why computer vision models recommend something to be classified as "dog" or "cat". ( it is sarcasm/ or is it? )

Hey everyone, happy to answer any questions around Data Science/ML/AI and making a career within it A brief about me, I work currently as a Sr. ML Engineer at an Indian unicorn startup I graduated 5+ years ago and have since worked as a Data Scientist / ML Engineer at an ecommerce company and social media company. My designations have changed based on the industry requirements and work too changed based on that. Would love to take questions on what it means to be an ML Engineer, my early learnings from a career in data science, and thoughts on AI. Look forward to all questions :)

This is not a question for the cocky new grad in the overvalued startup, but for the few seasoned PMs that still reply out here. Where do PMs go after they peak? By peaking I mean arriving at a GPM or Staff PM position at the top 10-15 companies (you can do your own ranking here). Nobody has the true statistics but I will use the assumption that 75% (debatable) of those who peak, will get laid off within 2 years from their ‘peak role’. The remaining will be able to progress into DoP and VP in the same top company or another in the top 15. Where do they go then? I am pretty positive, from experience, that they don’t go any up. Do they go down the ladder of new startups for titles and ending up in the worst ones after being laid off 4-5 times? Do they quit all together? Do they open a farm? Do they start their own startup? Comments and thoughts folks!

Everyday I open youtube/grapevine/teamblind its has keywords AI + Shocked or it will replace our jobs. My take on why AI might not replace our jobs. 1. Running AI agents or AGI requires significant electric power. If every company starts using it in some way in the future. All the code might be exposed. What if AGI builds its own version and starts selling and shuts down its employer considering its super intelligence. 2. If people dont pay taxes. How will government run? Who will buy the products in the market? Wont people start stealing/hurting others to meet basic needs? 3. Many jobs in todays world use computers in someform. But we only talk about the software engineers. There are non tech people who use computers in their works. Those are pretty much repetitive and can be easily automated. Many are not aware about chatgpt. On the other end people talk about alternative jobs and the safest job is farming in most of the posts. 1. Cant the rich build humanoid robots to do the same. Can't big corporates buy lands and build vertical farms and run with robots. 2. What big corporates are going to do with the excess money laying us off in the end if all the jobs are taken, as if the people running or owning them are going to live their life eternally. Unless they find a way to upload their existence into a robot. 3. I'm not sure if people posting about AI taking jobs have worked on atleast building basic ML models like linear regression or used MNIST data to detect numbers using neural networks. For most of us AI is a blackbox and we do not know about its full potential. My take on AI 1. AI can aid humans in their tasks or make developers like us to wear multiple hats. Like combination of backend, frontend, mobile, devops, machine learning, cybersecurity. Helpnus better debug. 2. I feel like all these CxO's just blabber to get high funding, spread fear while they chill in their yatch. Let me know your thoughts on this.

How long would it take to learn Ai/ML from Scratch for fresher

It's a every day news that software companies are adapting A.I. I have a doubt around that. As a developer everyone is aware of 2 or more programming languages and as we work we gain domain skills along with software development tools, devops, qa etc. I wanted to understand how AI is finding its place in software companies I mean in what part of our daily work will AI comes in. if anyone has an example and explain that would be great. also as a Software developer how should I being AI learnings.

Really excited to do this! Here's a little bit about my career: - I dropped out of college to build a design studio with 20+ people for 4 years before leaving that to start another studio. - I’ve worked across most major startups in Bangalore (not including brand names here for anonymity) - I’ve worked across brand identity design, UX/UI, social media marketing, ad films, animation/motion graphics, and 3D Happy to answer questions about design, freelancing, starting an agency/studio, the design industry, etc.
