Summary

Bashiri Smith recommends two free websites for learning AI engineering from scratch. The first is the AI Engineering Hub GitHub repo, which has tutorials and projects on LLMs, RAG and AI agents for beginner, intermediate and advanced learners. The second is the AI Safety, Ethics, and Society textbook, which covers AI safety concepts. He says this kind of conceptual knowledge sets job candidates apart. The caption also links to his own Skool community.

Key points

• AI Engineering Hub (github.com/patchy631/ai-engineering-hub) has in-depth tutorials on LLMs, RAG and real-world AI agent applications.
• The repo works as a learning path for complete beginners and also includes intermediate and advanced projects.
• The AI Safety Book (aisafetybook.com), titled 'AI Safety, Ethics, and Society', is mostly conceptual.
• The creator says even a basic grasp of AI safety topics puts you ahead of many AI engineering candidates in today's job market.
• Pair the two: hands-on projects from the repo plus safety concepts from the book.
