AI expert gives London teen tips – Info AI

The tips DeepMind co-founder Shane Legg gave the teen:

Learn:

1. linear algebra well (e.g. matrix math)

2. calculus to an ok level (not advanced stuff)

3. prob. theory and stats to a good level

4. theoretical computer science basics

5. to code well in Python and ok in C++

Then read and implement ML papers and play with stuff! 🙂

Although I think this is a bit specific to ML (which is just one part of AI), I think it’s good advice. If you’re looking to get started with AI, /r/artificial has some more advice on our wiki.
