How to start learning Machine Intelligence/AI?

Question

From the basic AI concepts...I want to know the programming languages which will be required and other things. It would be better if you could recommend books for the same.
I am interested in both weak and strong AI.

Answer 1

Python is a good language to learn for Data Science and Machine Learning. Check out Coursera, they have some good courses for DS and ML.

Answer 2

Check out 'Machine Learning for Hackers'. It's an O'Reilly book. Those are always useful reads. Also 'Data Science from Scratch' is cool. It shows you how to perform data science tasks from the ground level, instead of using popular packages like scikit-learn. But the scikit-learn stack is pretty awesome. Try to find material that uses that package. I've just started in my journey to learn about DS and ML, so you'd be better off asking some more experienced people. Use the Meetups app to find ML groups near you. Also, 'Grokking Algorithms' is a great book for understanding how algorithms work on a fundamental level, and ML is all about good use of algorithms.

Answer 3

Andrew Ng's

Answer 4

@Nick Are there any books other than the coursera
