How to get a job working with artificial intelligence/machine learning

It forms the basis of all sorts of exciting AI innovations you've heard of, from self-driving cars to video/image recognition. By creating increasingly efficient models that help machines manage the complexity of data patterns that can stretch into trillions of possibilities, humanity can benefit from automated processing of ever-larger data -- gaining richer insights on datasets that can grow larger and larger. Those insights can allow a social network like Facebook to automatically classify the photos on its network, or allow somebody to pattern-match and predict your behavior based on your search history.
