Before we get started I though I should give a bit of background information on my

motivation to write this article. I recently graduated from my bachelors degree in

Computer Science. About half way through my 3rd year I knew that the only area that
I wanted to work in was AI. My college didn’t have any AI specific courses and
there weren’t many AI internships going around in Dublin. I am happy to say that I
am now working in an AI research & development team as a graduate.

This article will briefly outline what I did to get be prepared for a job in AI
with no prior experience. Now granted, none of this information is mind blowing and
most of these tips are pretty obvious. However much like eating healthy and
exercising, I have found that although everyone knows that this is the stuff you
need to do, a lot of people still don’t do it. I am hoping this article will help
people set out their own plan for moving into the exciting world of AI. Another
thing I want to point out is this advice applies to all fields of software
development in general, however the specific guidelines and topics will obviously
be focused on AI/ML.
