How do I get into AI engineering?

I'm an electronics engineer but my total work ex of about 7 years is all in growth.

Data science makes sense as a first step if I really want to get into AI, but is that it?

DS to ML to DL with a strong sprinkle of maths is all I need to start understanding models on a technical level?

Any suggestions for a non techie with some tech hands on around this roadmap?
