where are the schools for training in AI?

I keep reading about AI and I think it's the future. Are the schools a combination of engineering and science or is AI on another level (but still a combination of both)?

I know Carnegie Mellon has one of the best programs for AI/robotics and it's run by Hans Moravec. I interviewed him once when I was in High School. Good luck getting accepted though.

You don't need to spend money on a top tier research university to learn about a damned thing. You just need time to study and need to accept that nothing is going to be handed to you. Top tier research universities have shit teachers too (in the US, anyway).

At my alma mater, AI/machine learning/data science are research focuses in computer science and electrical/computer engineering.

^^ That is probably where the majority of research comes from. One could also study AI from the physics or math departments if their PhD adviser is in the right area. Information theory and the like.

Depends on what you're looking for when you say AI. Doing machine learning (weak AI) is relatively trivial these days with access to modern graphical processing hardware. If you're willing to be patient, you can probably get a decent neural net trained on the average desktop computer with an nvidia GPU running some flavor of *nix for the OS, using Tensorflow for the actual machine learning, and Go/whatever you like for the actual interface. Been looking into this recently myself, and it seems somewhat straightforward if you have some sort of familiarity with a backend language like C, C++, Haskell, Python, &c.
I can answer some questions as someone who is by no stretch an expert in the field, if you have any. I have been researching it somewhat in depth recently as part of a passion project I'm trying to get off the ground.
If you're talking about strong AI (aka general AI) then I have no idea where to point you. All I can say is that I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.

I just read an article that "true" AI still has a long way to go because it's being created thinking that the brain is like a computer when it's really more complex than that. Think about it: man made computers, man made AI, etc. If true AI should exist, let AI build man, for a change! How about let AI build itself!

So basically once a "standard" AI chip is established, it can then be sold as a "chip" where any company can pretty much mass produce a product marketed as an AI product? AI is really just that, an AI, and there can probably no individuality or "soul" in AI, but nonetheless, I sure would like a robot as my assistant or sidekick! LOL.
Is an education in robotics technology part of the AI world as well as far as "physical" is concerned, not so much the "brain" of the AI world?
