I am currently a CS student at University, I have been contemplating going into the realm of AI but I do not trust the recommendations of the internet. Where can I find reliable information or courses that will allow me to take the next step in AI development and use?

Isn't at least some AI-related material a part of your upper-level course work at University?

It is! I would like to work on it before then and get a head start and get ready for senior projects.

I would highly recommend "Neural Networks from Scratch". It will walk you through the code & theory at a granular level.

fastai is a no brainer. You can go into the nitty gritty later, but doing this course will let you see the power of AI and deep learning from the start.

Getting a minor (or double major!) in math or statistics would be helpful. I know it isn't the flashiest answer, but getting a solid foundation in math will be helpful in understanding what's going on behind the AI curtains. I think math has to be one of the hardest subjects to learn after graduation, so focusing on it now will pay big dividends.
