Ok, so in summary(just if anyone else needs anything from this), these are the links:

1) Emphasize completing courses/books before 11th grade.

2) Focus on projects rather than numerous courses.

3) Watch 3blue1brown's series on linear algebra, calculus, and deep learning.

4) Recommended resources include Free Code Camp, CS50, How to Design Programs, and Nand2Tetris.

5) Stress the importance of mathematics in AI/ML and suggest studying probability, calculus, and linear algebra.

6) Encourage the individual to start with simple projects and gradually tackle more ambitious ones.

7) Suggest writing a complete, original application with documentation to understand code organization.

8) Advise joining projects, looking for internships, and exploring open-source contributions.

9) Recommend Francois Chollet's book on AI and learning TensorFlow and Keras.

10)Encourage learning practical aspects of ML/AI, such as data partitioning and avoiding overfitting.

11)Suggest building something personally interesting or cloning an existing project.

12)Emphasize the importance of soft skills and understanding the human side of technology.

Got it, I'll get the book. I did not know there were up-to-date books because of recent years, guess I was wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Thanks for the advice! I've decided on a Ph.D. and a master's. I'll follow your suggestion to create a complete app with documentation for a deeper understanding of code organization.

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely look into the MIT lectures on YouTube. Your thoughts on AI and project choice make sense, and I'll aim for a good balance. Appreciate the encouragement.

Yea, I'll try to look for some projects on git, I just feel like I might not have the skills to help people as I might mess it up XD.
