You don't get to learn AI unless you're using and building with AI

Chris Carolan, on the gap between the people making decisions about AI and the people building with it. You don't get to learn AI unless you're using and building with AI. Take that as a hard constraint rather than a slogan. If your whole exposure is a briefing somebody hands you on a piece of paper, you are missing the one thing that decides everything downstream: you do not know what to ask. Nobody asks a good question about a system they have never once built with.
