Artificial Intelligence – Where to Put Your Time & Money

As I looked around some of the artificial intelligence (AI) related acquisitions in last few years, I got convinced, at least, on the fact that majority of large companies such as Google, Facebook, IBM are seeing various different artificial intelligence topics to play a key role in impacting end users’ life (and hence, developers) in the future. With that as the background, it gave me good enough reasons to start doing research in relation with following: As students, what topics of artificial intelligence should they take up as one of their computer science courses while  selecting under-graduate & post graduate courses? As developers/programmers, what topics of artificial intelligence should they …
