Okay, this launched me into an existential crisis. This is where IT'S at. This field is where everything is happening. And me, being a humanities major, I feel like I'm watching universe experiencing itself through a youtube video. Man... I wish I got involved with all this real time magic. Does anyone know any books that could get me more into this field? Beginner level, yet to get a firmer grasp onto the whole ungraspable thing (for my limited humanities brain). Has anyone changed their career path in their 30s? Feels like im too old already for something like this, yet I'm never getting any younger, it's asap or never. Oh man, what great minds, what a majestic thing science is... I'm in awe, yet I feel like I made the wrong choices. The universe experiencing itself through me made the wrong choices,(reply>), @Carlos Mario Rodriguez Lara Lol, dude,  you have such an idiotic understanding of human culture,  almost two bit level. Humanities is not about solving problems, and the the guy above is obviously a troll,(reply>), I don’t think your humanities major is to blame for feeling that way. The problems that they are trying to solve dwarf anything I’ve worked on as a robotics and machine vision expert. Makes you want to change your focus into something more meaningful for humanity.,(reply>), It depends on what kind of role you want to transition to (technical roles will require computer science / math backgrounds). The book, "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach", may be a good starting point to give you an idea of what AI is like.
