Motivation

It IS possible to learn AI alone. It's a matter of getting your foot in the right doors, knowing where to start. It can be a bit overwhelming, but as you read more and more, things click into place.

Though I had two very basic courses in AI, I've learnt most of the stuff I know now alone -- like most researchers I expect. Being familiar with the work of others and capable of understanding it is what it's all about really.

Basically, the first thing to do is to pick a topic of artificial intelligence -- anything, see one of the many essays and tutorials here, and find out more. A good book may also do the trick. You'll discover new doorways opening, and some semi-decent web-searching skills will reveal more information on them.

Also, don't forget to apply your knowledge. Things always make more sense when you do something practical with it!

Good luck!
