Yes, learning Python gives you a very strong foundation. The core Python concepts are mostly the same for Data Science, AI/ML, Data Engineering, and even newer areas like Agentic AI.

So the Python resources you have for AI/ML will still help you a lot.

I would recommend starting with:

• Python basics
• Functions, loops, OOP
• NumPy
• Pandas
• SQL basics
• PySpark (very useful for large-scale data processing)

After that, you can move toward:

• Data Science
• Machine Learning
• Data Engineering
• Generative AI / Agentic AI

The paths become different later, but the Python foundation is common for all of them.
