AI is constantly evolving. When it comes to learning AI, you need to be really good at coding. This is only possible when you are really good at mathematics. However, not all the people may agree. So, do you think you really need to be good at mathematics to learn AI algorithm?

I don't think you need to be great at math for coding, but apparently an intermediate college level understanding is needed for computer science degrees.

I do believe that you need to be good at mathematics to learn AI. AI also involves learning different things about how algorithm work. This can certainly involve using mathematics. I think you do need to use mathematics to some extent and this is quite important.
