as peter norvig said at a recent conference, it depends on how you define AI. to gauge the field, why not start with his textbook (http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/ http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/). right next to this link, i just saw this one here for more resources on the web (http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/ai.html http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/ai.html). btw, i wouldn't really think too much about what other people are interested in or not if you are at your stage. if you are drawn to the field, do it. tech is too unpredictable to make this kind of career calculus.
