AI Engineer is basically a software engineer sub-branch Like a Web-technology Data science Infrastructure and cloud
AI engineering is an exaggerated wrapper of software engineering.
Legends!!!!
Intuitive and thoughtful. Looking forward to seeing such series continue, my friend.
I believe ai engineering software, engineer computer science and electrical engineering are all under computer engineering
Jo problem software engineer solve nahi kar sakthi woo Aj kal Ai engineer solve karthi hai 😂😂
What if am 25👀
False it required 3 informatique , architecture and domain ( comptability , marketing etc ) . without this requirements when your projects end it 's useless
Great video, Please make this kind of video for Data Engineer and Data Scientist roles too, would be really helpful.
Forward deployed engineer. Current hottest career path
It's the same job. AI is just a buzzword slapped on a Software Engineer role which is what you call semantics.
The term "engineering" is often used, but to be considered a software engineer or AI engineer, is a university degree necessary? I have a Bachelor's degree in Information Systems (4 years) and a postgraduate degree in IT Management (2 years). Will I need to complete a 5-year engineering degree to be considered an engineer in the job market?
Great video! She’s right about debugging, definitely master cleaning up/simplifying and debugging code even while you’re learning Python. It will save you later on.
What we call Vibe coders, AI engineer or software Engineer?
🎉
Thank you Saijaad
Hi Sajjad, I am 17 years old from Pakistan and I have been in applied AI for about a year and half I am self learning AI Engineering I have built LLM integrated applications and currently working on an AI email automation and management systems that classify emails on priority, sensitivity and others and reply to most using an Agentic RAG while important ones are stored in a database and displayed on a frontend for user to answer manually. Considering AI Engineer is not a well stablished career and I am particularly concerned about AI bubble, what is your opinion if I shall go into it. I love frontier technology but I also want a stable career. Do u think I shall go into this? Perhaps I could learn this as self learned now that I am in high school and in university I could choose swe and be a swe that can ship ai features along with software. Or you believe this is a good career to go all into this
Is it worth it to study computer science today
Is data engineering good ahesd
Please make this kind of videos. I really love this conversation because actually I didn't have any knowledge more about AI Engineer and Software Engineer but now my goal is clear. So, Thanks a lot for making the video. Keep it up.
