AI is a big field, you will have to choose a specialty. Don’t stress about it too much, you can change later, but think whether you would rather do images, text, etc. I would focus on whatever you might be able to work into your day job, as diligent as you will try to be, it will be much easier to keep momentum if it ties to what you are paid to think about every weekday. It might not be possible to overlap the sexiest new techniques with the things that you can practice during your job, but there is a lot of fundamentals you will be learning regardless, and when you are ready to jump more squarely into cutting edge applications you will find them essential.
