Abstract

At a young age, artificial intelligence often feels like a distant, futuristic concept. When I was first introduced to AI, it was not as visible or widely used as it is today. I imagined it as something built by experts in advanced laboratories or discussed in research papers filled with complex equations. It was fascinating, but also felt unreachable because I hadn’t yet adopted an AI research mindset. Over time, I learnt that AI research is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to explore problems deeply, it is about AI research mindset. In fact, AI research does not begin with advanced degrees or perfect solutions. It begins much earlier, with curiosity, experimentation, and the willingness to investigate how and why systems behave the way they do. https://entechonline.com/ai-research-mindset-thinking-like-ai-researcher/
