I just started reading this. It isn't at all technical, but if you want to learn a little about the field rather than get into the field it seems worth reading.

Cool pic, shit quality

I should mention it assumes some background knowledge of data structures, algorithms, etc

Learn a programming language. On your phone, if Android (idk for iPhone), try SoloLearn for languages and Dcoder for a compiler. Easy mode language is going for Python or similar. If you really want to get to the bones of what could allow you to crack at AI, try C++.
If it starts boring you, then you just like the idea of AI.

Are you looking for textbooks or popsci (not using it in a derogative way) introductions? What are you trying to do?

Not even memeing. Machine learning is premised upon embodied cognition which is the hot new thing™.

Don't use C++ as an intro to ML, use Matlab or Python

Sure, Python is more user friendly, but C++ takes less shortcuts and thus allows for more insightful programming. Which would be needed when tackling AI. Idk about Matlab.

If you're interested in basic neural networks but just want to design and apply a net to solve a problem rather than implement one from scratch, try Jeff Heaton's series on YT about Encog (for C#).

Once you realize that it's all just statistics it gets a lot easier.

Im a psych major considering getting into comp sci
Anything that gives a broad overview would be ideal, at this point
