LFE (Lisp Flavoured Erlang). It's the ideal tool for exploring AI.

Handbook of Neuroevolution Through Erlang by Gene Sher makes a compelling argument (with detailed, varied examples) that Erlang is the perfect language with which to implement neural nets.

Lisp has always been associated with AI, of course. Nowadays it's all Python, Java and R for machine learning, but Lisp can do just as well, plus more: Lisp has an affinity for recursion, and its homoiconicity will - I suspect - prove fundamental for true AI. One can't just 'strap on' its features to those other languages (including Elixir: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7623991).

So, obviously the right tool for the job is LFE!
