Getting Started with artifical intelligence

[x-ecutioner]

hi there,

recently I've read a lot of articles about advances in AI. I understand it has a lot to do with neural networks.

is there a way i could get involved? Learn some of this at home?
My assumption is that expensive equipment is required and the majority of it would not be possible.

is there at least a specific programming language i can learn to get into this field of study?

thanks,

x-ecutioner
