Had a quarter-life crisis, so decided to quit my job after working 5 years as a software engineer and get a masters degree in a foreign country in 2010. Had to choose a specialization, and chose AI/ML only because I liked reading sci-fi. Graduated in 2012 and was suddenly and accidentally in a great position to ride the AI and data science wave taking over the industry.

Would you recommend getting an MSCS for getting into AI?

[jinonoel]

I had a really good time and learned more than I thought I would during my postgrad studies. However if you would be paying full tuition there's probably cheaper ways to get into AI though.

Just do the coursera courses and get started.
