AI Expertise: Why No One is Truly an AI Expert
(And What That Means for You)
Think You Know AI? Let’s Put That to the Test.
Artificial Intelligence is one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving fields in the world. But here’s a little secret most people won’t admit:
No one is an AI expert. Not in the way they claim to be.
AI isn’t a single skill—it’s a massive, interdisciplinary field with dozens of subfields, each requiring years of study to master. That’s why I created the AI Expertise Mind Map—a visual guide to help you understand just how complex AI really is.
Whether you’re an executive trying to figure out AI strategy, a consultant exploring AI adoption, or just someone wondering how much of AI you actually need to know—this will give you clarity.
This map breaks AI into:
✔ 4 Core Categories
✔ 7 Specialization Areas
✔ 39 Distinct AI Subfields
​
Most professionals specialize in one or two of these subfields at most.
Even the world's leading AI researchers have deep expertise in only 5-10% of AI at best.
​
Yet, on LinkedIn and in business circles, people throw around the term “AI expert” as if AI were a single skill.
The truth? AI is a jungle, and most people have only explored one or two trees.
​
💡 How This Impacts You
If you're a business leader, consultant, or professional trying to understand AI:
✅ You don’t need to know everything—but you do need to know the right things.
✅ Choosing the wrong “AI expert” can be costly—because many only know a fraction of what they claim.
✅ Your industry’s AI strategy will depend on which areas of AI actually matter to you.
That’s where I come in.
I'm a "beginner" as I work with mid-sized businesses, consultants,
