Artificial Intelligence Project Ideas for 2022 Posted on : Jan 24 - 2022

As a beginner in the data science industry, you must have read countless articles describing the importance of creating data science projects. In fact, I landed my first data science role due to the projects I showcased on my portfolio.

However, not every data science project can land you a role in the industry.

I have reviewed resumes of data science applicants in the past, most of whom were rejected from entry-level positions without even making it to the interview phase.

Some of these candidates did include projects on their resume — but the projects they showcased were too simple. These were projects they created at a bootcamp or online course, and did more harm than good to their application.

Recruiters skim through more than a hundred resumes for the same job position. If every candidate showcases a Titanic survival prediction model in the project section of their application, there is nothing that differentiates them from each other.

To really stand out when applying for a job, it is important to build something unique and creative.

Hiring managers know that it isn’t possible for you to master the entire machine learning tool-stack when applying for an entry-level role. That’s not what they are looking for. Skill can be honed over time, and there are a lot of things you can learn on the job.

All you need to do is go one step further than other applicants. Showcase a creative project and tell a story around it. This shows that you are passionate about learning — that you would spend hours creating something not because you are getting any immediate gain out of it, but simply because you enjoy doing it. This willingness to learn is a trait most good managers and recruiters actively search for, since every other skill can be honed over time.

In this article, I will provide you with a list of artificial intelligence project ideas that would look great on your resume.

I’ve come up with some of these projects and built them myself, and will provide you with links to them if available. I hope you can take inspiration from some of these projects, and perhaps even come up with your own version of them. View More
