Are AI/ML courses just hype

I am currently looking at e-masters programme (ms in ai & ml) by IiIT-h. It's self paced online only with 1-1 mentorship on weekends. Will be part of the alumni and placement (support only). I am considering this because my ug is non technical although I work in tech. Any suggestions would help too

Hey, wanted to have a genuine feedback on upgrad's iiit bangalore Ai and ML course before spending my money.

A little background: I'm 2024 cs grad from a tier 3 university placed at Zomato as an SDE-1. Getting a good pay of ~25 LPA. Should I be considering a masters in AI/ML field, considering I've no prior knowledge of the field and I'm only attracted to it because of the recent rise of LLMs. I would be open for a masters from India or abroad. What are the pros and cons? Should I go for it? If yes then what's the path that you'd suggest if you've done it or someone you know who has done it? What would be some good universities to target? Or is it a bad idea?

I am interested to learn e-masters from IIT kanpur in machine learning and data science is worth to spend it? As its almost 8 lakh worth of course , currently i am data analyst with 3 years of experience, is it going to help me to convert into data scientist in future and get high package, please experts guide me.

I could see soo many people taking courses from platforms like guvi scaler where they assure placements upto 7 lpa even for freshers with gap in their resume Are these truths can we trust these courses?

Systems Engineer here looking to adding another skill in addition to(not in replacement with) my current backend one. Wanted to know what were the different certification options are available to me if I wanted to upskill and be taken seriously for it, rather than another engineer riding a fad. Based on my preliminary research I am consider these- 1. Andrew Ng course on ML 2. AWS ML certification 3. Google Cloud ML certification 4. Upgrad ML Executive PG Not sure about market applicability of 1, 2 and 3 I fear would box me into that specific cloud environment and 4 is just too damn pricy in addition to having no idea about market applicability.

I’m a mid-career generalist with most of the experience in Operations roles. I believe that upskilling in AI is very important. Looking forward to your suggestions around courses that are a) helpful in building knowledge grounds up b) fairly recognized by the recruiters and adds value to the CV. Course certificates that boost your opportunities for the years to come. Personal anecdotes, recos and contrarian views are welcome. TIA.

Hello, Thinking of upskilling/educating myself to venture more into the AI driven product management style. All I know is to start with Andrew NG's Intro to Generative AI course. Would really appreciate it if you could guide me on how to proceed after that. Thank you!!
