Probably the best way is to get hired in a company that does AI, without explicitly looking for an AI role yourself - then go from there. I would never hire someone as a machine learning specialist if their "only" qualifications is online courses or personal projects.

HI,

I don't share your point of view .

Online courses are a trend. The Microsoft & cisco partner certifications are the precursors of this system.

All the big companies are starting it and even the universities (it's the world after COVID).In computer science, diploma are just papers. what really matters is what your fingers can do on a keyboard. Companies look for somewhone who can solve thier issues that's it.

Sure but a master's/phd degree in a good lab is worth a _lot_ more on paper than one or two 12 week online courses, alone. Im for giving people a shot, but I have rarely been impressed or surprised.
