_oskh··on Ask HN: What's the difficulty of a mid-career pivot from engineering to AI?
I wouldn't sweat no 4-year AI degree. If a person wanted to advance the theory and innovation within AI, they'd prob want a PhD.

But sounds like you're talking about becoming a practitioner who leverages AI.

The great part about new technology developments like what's happened with AI the past few years is that there is a small pool of people who have experience in the tech.

So if you invested the time to learn and build prototypes on your own, you'd be very attractive to any employer seeking to add the skillsets you practiced.
