I'm surprised that many recommend heavy Math, but I always thought AI engineer is sort of specialized data engineer for AI projects.
It's definitely a plus to know a bit about the Mathematics, but I doubt anything short of a Master of Science in Math with AI as specialization is going to close the gap. How many data engineers can do that?
Wouldn't it make a lot of sense to hire someone with zero AI exposure but tons of experience in sysadmin, data engineering and ops? It's going to be tough to find someone who are both an engineer and a Math wizard, I think.
