I'm a 19-year-old male majoring in Math with a minor in AI and Data Science. Since I have a solid understanding of Java as my first programming language, I'm looking to use the one-month gap before college starts to boost my skills and build a portfolio for a future in the AI sector. What other programming languages should I focus on during this time?

For diving into AI, I highly recommend picking up Python. It's really popular in the AI community, and you'll find a lot of resources and libraries available. Plus, your Java skills will help you pick it up quickly!
If you want to explore some functional programming, consider Haskell or Scala. They're great for your major and can help with formally verifying code, which is an interesting skill in the AI field.
Don't overlook C! It might be a bit complex, but it helps you understand memory management and how things work under the hood, which is super useful for any programming context.
I hear you! I was told the same thing, and even though I'm intimidated, I think I might just have to give it a shot.
Yeah, Python is basically the go-to language for AI. Definitely a smart choice!
