Basics

There are very few AI options at the level you are at now, but gaining an engineering and physics degree is no bad way to begin, and I agree with Rinku - don't mess around with your studies unless you happen to be particularly bright! If you want to pursue AI as a postgrad you are going to have to convince somebody that you are good enough to do it - i.e. a good degree!

On top of this demonstrating that you have the ability to understand AI techniques will stand you in excellent stead. One way to do this is to write articles and post them online, (either here, on your own site, or elsewhere) and do some projects - they don't have to be particularly large, and to begin with they don't need to be wholely original either, at least not until you are confident enough to tackle new areas. Post these projects online aswell. The idea is to show that you are active in your interest and demonstrate your understanding of AI. Luckily, AI is a fascinating enough area to be able to study in your own time.

When all this is done you can then apply for an AI-based masters degree or phd somewhere. If you are good you will even get paid!!

Hope this motivates you,

Linden
