Totally depends on where you want to land on the engineering-AI-products to pure-AI-research spectrum.

So, what do you mean by "pursuing"?

But even still, I would caution against trying to upload a bunch of new math concepts into your brain without first understanding the ML/AI context.

I would say go through both of Andrew Ng's ML and DL courses on Coursera.

Then, pick a domain/ problem that you're interested in.

Then, read papers about how ML/AI is applied in that domain.

Then, try to reproduce a paper that you understand and are interested in.
