AI will automate some tasks, but it is more likely to **transform jobs** than to replace them. It will create new roles and enhance human skills, making it important to learn how to use AI as a tool.

Do I Need to Be a Math Genius to Understand AI?

No! You don't need advanced math to understand the basics of AI and implement the basics of AI. You can learn related math along the way.

Do I Need Expensive Hardware to Work with AI?

Not at all! While training large AI models from scratch requires significant computing resources, beginners can start using and learning AI with just a regular computer and internet connection. Free services like Google Colab and Kaggle provide cloud computing resources where you can run AI code without specialized hardware. Many pre-trained models can be used and fine-tuned on standard laptops, making AI more accessible than ever before.
