There are probably libraries to help with that but to use
them effectively you need to understand what AI is and
which branch of it you wish to pursue/utilise. When I
was at university 40 years ago there were 5 spheres of AI:
Vision(recognition)
Speech Recognition and Synthesis
Knowledge Based Systems
Robotics
Textual analysis/generation
I'm sure this will have changed and new areas added or
areas merged but it gives some clue about the range
of activities coming under the AI umbrella.
You may need to study some generic AI texts to understand
the what/how and where each of these areas is at.
Then decide which ones you want to use and research
available libraries in those topics.
Its a lot of work.

This is easier and there are many Python text books and
video courses. Which ones suit your personal learning
preferences depends a lot on you. Personally I favour
the O'Reilly series and "Programming in Python 3" by
Sommerville.
I should probably put in a plug for my own web site(see below)
and the related print book "Python Projects"
