Body: <p>I have been wanting to get started learning about artificial intelligence but I know almost nothing about coding or anything. So my question is, what would be the best way to get started in learning about artificial intelligence, as in should I learn some kind of coding language or is there some kind of other concept you need to know before getting started. So I'm just kind of looking for the best way to get started if you literally know nothing.</p>
