Would a question on how to attain a certain position be valid on academia?
I am very interested in Artificial Intelligence, and because of that I am educating myself towards that end, first with a bachelor in Software Engineering and then a masters of AI.
I would like to be on the edge of the field and perhaps research and help develop cutting edge AI.
This has led me to believe I should get a PhD, but I am unsure if that is true. Is it possible to do research without a PhD? And is that question suited for Academia?
