Getting Started

Before starting your AI / Machine Learning journey, ensure that your development environment is properly set up.
Having the right tools in place will help you focus on learning concepts instead of fixing setup issues.

---

How to Use This Repository

1. Start with the AI Roadmap if you are new
2. Move into ML → DL → specialization (CV, NLP, LLMs, etc.)
3. Choose your career track:
   • Engineer
   • MLOps / Production
   • Research Scientist
   • AI Safety / Policy

You do not need to follow everything linearly.
These roadmaps are modular but connected.
