Do you need software development skills to become an AI developer?

I'm studying computer science (second semester) and would like to pursue a career in AI, such as becoming an AI developer. Do I need knowledge of software development, such as software engineering, to become an AI developer? In other words, does it make sense to work as a student employee in software development while studying and taking courses like "Software Engineering II" or "Formal Methods in Software Development" in my master's program if I want to work as an AI developer or something similar later on?

Hello, Kevin,

I'd have to say sarcastically. Nope, let the AI ​​​​write the API requests…

Jokes aside, of course, you need to be able to access the AI's interfaces (APIs) and process the responses accordingly.

Without programming knowledge, it won't work.

I wish you lots of fun with your studies and a great journey into the world of programming!

Hello,

Well, as a computer science student, you should know that AI is just software!

You will need very good and fast hardware, but without software the whole thing won't work!

Who develops software…..

Would be helpful, but not alone.
Actually, you need a degree in computer science.

Loosely translated, AI is the goal, not the path.

Counter question: Does a carpenter/joiner need to know anything about wood?
