i want to ask some AI experts that can i pursue a course regarding AI with different background from computer science such as civil engineering with little knowlege of programming in matlab/python? can i pass AI if i choose to learn about this and i am really interested to do this so any expert can suggest
thank you
Dear Mateen Ali , I think it depends to a great deal on the actual curriculum of your program. In general, I'd say, it's definitely possible because coding skills are one of the easiest to acquire in an autodidactic way.
I myself completed the AI Professional Program offered by Stanford's Center for Professional Development last fall (not a full Master's though but only ~9 months). They expected students to have quite profound knowledge in Python programming (and from my perspective even more nasty stuff such as calculus and linear algebra). Since I 'only' have a background in social sciences and do my programming in R, I was very intimidated at first. However, with the help of platforms such as Khan Academy, Coursera, and YouTube it was all manageable.
Anyways, good luck with your future academic endeavors!
Mateen Ali Basic computer technology and math backgrounds form the backbone of most artificial intelligence programs. Entry-level positions require at least a bachelor's degree while positions entailing supervision, leadership, or administrative roles frequently require master's or doctoral degrees. The students who hold a bachelor's degree in engineering are available to pass a course in Artificial Intelligence courses.

If you are good at mathematics, reasoning, and logic and have a keen interest in computer programming, then you can confidently opt for AI. You will definitely find good success.
The whole power is motivation with goals, which can lead you to successes for sure. However., if your mathematical background is lower than the basics of mathematics for engineering, you may need a bit more effort via literature review.
I recommend Georgia Tech's MSCS. They have on campus and 100% online options. The program itself can be tailored to be more AI focused, or less, if you find it overly difficult, or more importantly, to go deeper into what you enjoy.
What I liked about the program is that there is a large community that can help guide you to what specialization you will be good at. https://www.cc.gatech.edu/degree-programs/master-science-computer-science and https://omscs.gatech.edu/
You may need to do some light prerequisite work to qualify. You will definitely learn all the bits you need during this degree program.
The requirements to learn Artificial Intelligence are:
- Good knowledge of Mathematics.
- Familiarity with the programming languages.
- Ability to write algorithms to find patterns and learning.
- Good analytical skills.
- Good knowledge of Statistics and modeling.
- Ability to learn new machine learning and deep learning algorithms.
