artificial intelligence for beginners

Hey /prog/, I don't know how you deal with out kind round here but I'm a beginner at programming. I know some python, but even I can tell that it's a programming language for babies.

What would you recommend me to learn? I don't think I'm one of those "lol i make games" type of amateur programmers (although it would be cool to learn c++ eventually), right now I'm looking for a language that's good for artificial intelligence.
