2021 (THE BIG JUMP)
- Before this, my understanding of AI was rather limited. I had a grasp of the concept of automation, but I never really connected it to AI. My perception of AI was mainly influenced by what I had seen in movies, where it was often depicted as robotics. As a result, I developed a strong desire to study robotics based on those impressions. I also saw a video on YouTube which made me interested in anything automation.
