About a year and a half ago I was looking to learn more about the openCV library and computer vision. Searching through HN turned me on to: https://pyimagesearch.com/ https://pyimagesearch.com/ Their approach to hands on learning with code samples you can download and run proved very effective (for me) at demystifying the current AI fields of image classification and object detection. It's all python based and leans heavily on existing libraries. But he does cover the basic math and references various books and research papers that are influential in the field. I ultimately signed up for their paid courses but you could learn quite a bit from the free stuff. After a few months of learning from pyimagesearch.com I ultimately decided to enroll in the GT OMSCS program to really dig into the field. @Pinegulf is right - AI is just code. There is no "one AI program to rule them all" and there never will be. Better to think of AI as a collection of various tools (really cool tools!) that have been invented to solve various problems - image classification, or voice processing to name two of the more recent hot AI tools.
