How do I start learning AI and machine learning as a beginner?

AI feels intimidating from the outside, but there's a clear path in. Here's where to begin.

A practical order:

• Get comfortable with basic Python — it's the main language for ML.
• Learn a little statistics and linear algebra (just enough; you can deepen later).
• Take a structured course like Andrew Ng's Machine Learning (auditable for free).
• Build a tiny project with real data to make it concrete.

You don't need a PhD to start. What's confusing you right now? Ask and we'll point you forward.
