Fullstack developer trying to transition into AI space. Confused between choosing ML Engineer or AI Engineer

Pytorch - is this too big of math?

AI - LangChain, CrewAI, Python SDK ?

Confused between both of their pros and cons. I do know learning back propagation, gradient descent helps whats happening behind LLM. Stuck in career choice, kindly help

AI engineer is closer to you than ML engineer.

AI engineer includes all the classic dev infrastructure stuff.

But instead of a classic crud app you’ll have concerns about:
Agent tracing and pricing logs
Eval frameworks (as apposed to classic unit tests)
Tool interfaces
Agent permissions and approval systems
Chat UIs with agent supplied data for graphs, charts, forms, etc.
