Learning AI
At Synaptiks.ai, we believe AI is for everyone—not just researchers or developers. This document outlines three
distinct paths for learning AI: Novice, Enthusiast, and Geek. Each path offers tailored resources and milestones to
help individuals navigate the world of AI at their own pace, from understanding basic concepts to diving deep into AI
development. We emphasize the importance of hands-on learning and experimentation with AI tools to truly grasp
the technology's potential.
