Below you find a set of charts demonstrating the paths that you can take and the
technologies that you would want to adopt in order to become a data scientist, machine
learning or an AI expert. We made these charts for our new employees to make them AI
Experts but we wanted to share them here to help the community.

If you are interested to become an AI EXPERT at AMAI in Germany, or you want to hire an
AI Expert , please say [email protected].

3/27/23, 7:21 PM AI Expert Roadmap

The purpose of these roadmaps is to give you an idea about the landscape and to guide you
if you are confused about what to learn next and not to encourage you to pick what is hip
and trendy. You should grow some understanding of why one tool would be better suited
for some cases than the other and remember hip and trendy never means best suited for
the job.
