Where do I start off as a medical student interested in AI/ML?
I'm a medical student who's deeply interested in AI and machine learning and building valuable AI systems in healthcare and medicine. I'm quite good at Python and I've been trying to take AI/ML courses on my own, but I've never been so confused. Where do I start? How do I proceed? Do I need all the math? All the resources I lay my hands on end up confusing me more the previous. How do I get to the point where I'll actually start building stuff? I feel like I've been so stuck for months now.
Why does tech feel so immoral?
Why does tech feel so immoral? I'm a computer science student having a change of heart regarding my degree. I don't think it's helping humans more than doing the opposite of that.

what would the best job for me be if i'm looking for one that is task-oriented with minimal people interaction?
I currently have a bachelors degree in psychology but I am open to any job that involves me having to complete a task oriented to-do list everyday for my job with minimal human interaction. I have recently gotten my CPC-A certification for medical coding. I am open to learning any skill that I have to and another important part of me is an uncapped amount of money. In other research that I have done about this, I am brought to the tech world which i'm very open too, I just don't know what path to take or where I should start. I want to learn what all of my options are and potentially find careers that I don't know about yet. I love tedious tasks and problem-solving/logic related tasks. There is so much more that I could dive into about what i'm looking for. I am looking for the right person to talk to about this!

Is AI/ML still worth pursuing long-term, or will automation kill those jobs too?
I’m choosing a major soon. From your experience, will AI/ML and math-based tech careers stay stable and useful in the next 10–30 years? Which parts of your job are hardest to automate? What skills will still matter even if AI gets stronger? What would you tell a 16-year-old starting now? im a sophomore student in high school in Budapest, I really like ai, tech, math, computer science and coding related stuff right now. everyone tells me that once I graduate high school in the next 2-3 years, ai will automated everything and these fields would be useless in the next 10 years. and my plan at first was to move somewhere nice even if its not improved in tech but work remotely in these fields but now im scared that by then id probably have low chances of getting a remote job. or I might have to be in countries with fast improving tech. I barely have info on anything and nobody around me specializes in these stuff so im clueless and only rely on random articles and exaggerated research and now im scared that I ight have to take a major in subjects I absolutely hate.

I had marketing internships but now i am scared to do tech ones. Any advice?
I am an IT senior but my resume is more business-centered focus since I am not a technical type of person. I hate coding but lately, I want to dive into non-tech roles with minimal coding or like other branches of IT but I chickened out. Some of the requirements like python code development. I do not have that skillset. Should I still apply and learn from the internship? or should I beefed up my resume first? Some roles I am interested in: business analyst, project management, product development or ui/ux design.
