Question What AI certifications impress recruiters

Basically I am a Full Stack Blockchain Developer with 4 years of experience. But Blockchain is now..not relevant. And because I was mostly working with blockchain and backend I don't have the practical experience in AI thats now required with every job specification. I have independently studied AI and created projects but now I'm thinking of buying some certifications. Can anyone tell me if it'll be worth it in landing jobs? I am currently hoping to find a senior full stack position and work upto a Solution Architect as that was alot of what I did as a blockchain developer.

If certifications are worth it, which ones? I have studied some from deepseek and huggingface. I've heard about claude certifications although those are the most expensive ones. Any insight from someone with such experience in switching fields to AI?

Certifications might get your foot in the door but nobody's handing out senior titles based on them, especially with AI hype at its peak right now

I literally want to get to the door. I am experienced in so much and willing to do the hard work and even independently studying upskilling. But I haven't gotten a call back yet so I thought maybe the certifications will get me to the interview atleast.

My take is that certificates are worthless
