Hello this is Gulshan Negi
I am a software developer. As a software developer, what are the top-rated AI courses available online, and what factors should one consider when choosing the best course for gaining knowledge and skills in the field of artificial intelligence?
I'm hoping for some positive responses.
Thanks

OK - please don't take this in the wrong way, but the first step should be to get your teminology straight.
"Artificial Intelligence" unfortunately has become an overhyped buzzwort implying something that doesn't exist anywhere - because no one has succeded in programming a true artificial intelligence anywhere on earth.

The closes any programmer has come to that is something called an "expert system" - basically advanced search algorithm for enhanced databases. You'll find a lot better results searching for that term.

In the area of gaming the thing that is usually called "AI" has actually nothing to do with intelligence or expert systems - a gaming AI is a set of preprogrammed responses along the game rules that simply mimics what the programmer thought would be the best strategy for that part of the game, limited by the need to allow the player to win.
The problem here is that there is no intelligence here at all, the scripts are always specially tailored to the specific games. And even then difficulty is usually created by cheating and giving the computer players additional resources, and not by having them use the rules with more intelligence.

And the same applies to everything else that is called "AI" today - it usually uses very specific scripting to pretend (and often fail in it) to have intelligence.
And that is why there is no specific course or tutorial for this - only general tutorials that are far from implementing anything, or specific instructions that do not work outside their specific area.

You need to specify what part of that large area you're interested in, and even then it is likely that most people here on the board are only interested in something like "gaming AI" which is too dependent on the game rules to have any good tutorials out there.

Hello, and thanks a lot for your prompt response. I had also seen this post where the author listed the 12 best AI courses, but it became overwhelming to choose the best one. Can anyone give their suggestions on which one I should choose? Would be a great support in this regard.
Thanks

I have never tried any of those.
But I probably would suggest these criteria
- Cheap
- It actually tells you what you will be learning.

For example,
The first few look like it explains the general usage of AI.
The 7th course is too vague in its description.
The 8th course focused on Unity and AI in game design.

but it became overwhelming to choose the best one. Can anyone give their suggestions on which one I should choose? Would be a great support in this regard.
To directly quote the FAQ below the post

1. Which artificial intelligence course is the best?

It depends on your preferences and needs, and which aspects of artificial intelligence you’d like to learn specifically. It can also depend on what level of knowledge you are starting from. The twelve courses on this list include some of the best AI courses currently available.
It is essentially asking "what do you want (to make)?".

With this map, I tried to emulate a Gameboy Color/Advance style.
Hacknet's a hypocritical game.
It's a game about hacking... that's been made in Net framework and the code was left unobfuscated.
So it's a game about hacking that's vulnerable to hacking.
The irony. :p
My message count stands at 999. I was going to ask if I get anything special for hitting 1,000 but then I looked at the post count of some other people who shall remain nameless. Now I don't feel special anymore. I need to either start posting a lot more or wipe my tears away and just focus on my game. Hopefully my keyboard is waterproof. ;_;
