I don’t know much about AI, but I’ve thought a lot about career guidance and mentorship.
My best advice: Try to start a virtual community within the specific area/sub-area that you’re interested in. (AI/ML/LLMs if I understood correctly.) If you’re lucky, you can find one that’s already established. Otherwise I would start one on Slack or Discord. Then you can be mentors to one-another. IMHO that’s probably much easier to pull of than finding a traditional mentor and maybe even more powerful, since you’re no longer limited to one single person’s availability.
Going to conferences could probably be useful as well. If you focus on the “hallway track”, you ought to find people who are interested in discussing these kinds of questions.
So, that was my ¢2. HTH!
