Hello guys, I am a regular guy who knows next to nothing about AI. But it recently caught my interest as I got to know it's one of the technologies for the future.

My question is: Can anyone from any background learn AI without necessarily being a software or computer scientist/enginneer ?

How long would it take to learn? What are the best platforms to learn?

And how can one monetize it without necessarily working for the tech giants like Google, Twitter etc ?

Thank you.
