Where to start from?

[thorny cloak]

Hello Everyone,

I’m a 10th grader from India, and I’ve been really curious about AI, not just using it, but actually understanding how it works. I want to start early so I can build a strong foundation and have an undue advantage in the future, whether it’s for higher studies, career opportunities, or creating innovative projects of my own.

I’m planning to learn it step-by-step, from the basics to real-world applications. My goal is to sharpen my problem-solving skills, understand the tech shaping our world, and be ready for whatever comes next in this fast-changing field.

If anyone can help me leading my way onto the right path please help me in it as I am new to all this.

Thank you for giving your time reading my post!!!

I'm a 11th grader from India set for the same path.
I started off with learning python, c++ and c.
Python for algorithms and training(using tensorflow{or pytorch if you want to}) and c++ and c for data structures and algorithms.

I learnt the theory with chat gpt and Andrew ngs course on ai.

I would suggest for you to start as i myself I'm not proefficient in what I'm doing or learning.

After a certain while you'd understand few keywords appearing here and there like cost function, loss function, overfitting, back propagation , etc. keep googling these terms while building something as simple as a smiley face detector using tensor flow and a data set from a few google search surprisingly with good parameters( a variable in simple words used in machine learning) and maybe 500 or 1000 images or in professional terms data set you can have a decent ai which could identify a smiley face almost 100% of the time.
Just have an aim. Keep it simple for now.
You'll learn along the way of building your goal.
Keep networking during this time since you'll learn more from people than from lectures and textbooks.
