Technical Bedrock of AI: what are the technologies for AI development?

1. Most popular programming languages have the capbility bu you should explore how your current language does it. The popular once are; Python, R, Julia, Scala, Java, C++, Javascript and Lisp.

2. Vector Database: stores, manages and indexes high-dimensional vector data. Data points are stored as arrays of numbers called “vectors,” which are clustered based on similarity. This design enables low-latency queries, making it ideal for AI applications.
   Popular Vector Databases:
   1. Chroma · 2. Pinecone · 3. Weaviate · 4. Faiss · 5. Qdrant · 6. Milvus · 7. pgvector

3. AI Frameworks: PyTorch, Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow, Keras, LangChain Hugging Face OpenAI PyBrain IBM Watson, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK), DL4J (Deeplearning4j), Caffe, XGBoost
