Well @Swarnabha Ghosh l am a BSc statistics student, but l am also teaching myself machine learning. I have to say it takes a bit more effort mostly when you are learning these new concepts. The advice l can give you is to be patient with yourself and try to understand the fundamental concepts of machine learning deeply if possible send more time on them, cause they lay out the foundation to the more sophisticated deep learning algorithms. Don't rush take your time it will all be worthwhile 🙂

Well l think of AI more like a tool, so l think throughout the next decade AI will be used to make our work more efficient rather than replacing humans

Though the biggest consern is that these models are really getting so good at what they do really really fast.

Its a good place to practice whatever you have learnt in an engaging way through its competitions. I feel like every data scientist and ML engineer should really know about it.
