My suggestion is not to jump straight into advanced AI topics. Build your knowledge step by step. Start with free resources on YouTube and other beginner-friendly platforms to learn programming, basic mathematics, statistics, and how machine learning works. Start building some projects with the knowledge gained and then go for advanced courses in the field.
