What Triggered Your Focus on AI?

I started learning how to code maybe in eighth grade, and I really enjoyed that. As soon as I got to MIT, I got the sense that electrical engineering computer science was a department where you could first get good engineering training. And then from there, in terms of the classes that I was taking, I was never really that interested in some of the more systemsy classes. It's also something like that's really rewarding to see if you can actually get the physical robot to do something.
