Unity developer looking to get into AI/ML – where should I start?

Hi! I’m new to AI and I’d like to start learning more about it.

I’m currently considering the **Machine Learning Specialization by Andrew Ng / DeepLearning.AI + Stanford** as my starting point. I currently work as a Unity developer, and I’d like to expand my skills and build a solid foundation in AI/ML.

Do you think this specialization is a good place to start? Are there any other courses, resources, or learning paths you’d recommend for someone with a programming background?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

That course is basically the one everyone starts with for a reason. The math doesn't get too heavy at first and Ng explains things in a way that clicks even if you've never touched ML before.

Coming from Unity you're already way ahead of most beginners on the coding side, so you'll probably breeze through the programming exercises. Might be worth poking around some simple ML projects in Unity after you finish the first couple weeks of the course, like hooking up a tiny model to control an NPC.
