How to prepare for a career in machine learning and artificial intelligence

Staying ahead of the tide is the mantra for today's technology professionals. As technology and related processes evolve, those who work in the field must update their skills and even careers if necessary. Some traditional help desk, system, and network administrator roles are fading out to be replaced by endeavors requiring a heftier and more diverse skills set. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AL) are two such fields making steady inroads into the IT world. People looking for a future career in technology would do well to become familiar with both ML and AI.
