I want to strongly encourage everyone to learn data science and machine learning skills. (While you still can)
What "AI" means morphs and changes from generation to generation. Right now, the main areas are around data science and machine learning, and in particular deep learning, and generative AI.
There are communities that allow people to learn and grow their skills. Kaggle is one of the biggest ones. It is owned by Google, FYI. Make of that fact what you will.
Deeplearning.ai and Coursera have a lot of great courses on the subject. Of particular note are Generative AI for Everyone, and AI for Everyone.
OpenAI has released the capability for people to make their own "GPTs". They are in really close partnership with Microsoft. Make of that fact what you will. Stability.ai has done a lot of work trying to keep AI community driven. They have stable diffusion discord (link may become invalid after a week).
To get a more in-depth understanding, but starting from a basic level:

^The above is the first video in a series put on by Cassie Kozyrkov. She was the Chief Decision Scientist at Google till she left to do something on her own.
An absolutely amazing (possibly even career launching) course set is the Deep Learning Specialization on Coursera. This is put on by Andrew Ng, Younes Bensouda Mourri, and Kian Katanforoosh.
There are all sorts of other platforms where people try to collaborate and learn. I have myself launched a local meetup to discuss ideas that started pre-pandemic and restarted after things normalized.
You may want to jump on learning these things before the pay walls get much steeper and regulatory capture sets in (like it did with the cloud/mainframe 2.0). You can see that already the big companies and institutions have control, but they still have the notion of wanting everyone involved as part of the collegiate research culture that got it where it is so far. With all the money at stake now, and the sci-fi doom-story the corporations sold to government, it is only a matter of time before things become inaccessible without going through much steeper pay walls or pedigreed gate-keeping.
