I’ve been a junior developer for quite some time, but I’m at the age of wanting to pursue something I find more interesting. I’ve been studying Machine Learning for a couple of years (here and there) and I think it might be something I want to pursue.
Is a career in Research in AI/ML worth it in Australia? It seems Australia is not the best place for ML/AI, but I wanted some thoughts. By ‘worth it’, I mean, is a career in AI a likely outcome in Australia, as I don’t want to remain in academia forever? R&D is something I would like to pursue in the near future, but I would eventually want to move into the industry.

It doesn’t matter where you are. I colloborated with various folks in ML living in US, Europe, etc. as an undergraduate many years since there were hardly much ML folks in my country
If you are interested in an idea, you can always find folks who may work with you, guide you irrespective of your location
hey there! it’s awesome that you’re thinking about pursuing a career in AI/ML. Australia might not be the top spot for it, but there are definitely opportunities if you’re willing to put in the work. R&D is a great path to industry, so go for it!
