Can someone tell me about the languages that are really important in the study of artificial intelligence?

I am Bsc Computer Science student who is thinking of having post graduation in Msc artificial intelligence. So if I am going forward in that career ,which will be the  programming languages that will be mandatory?

In my experience alot of machine learning is developed in Python(PyTorch) or Java. it may also be helpful to learn the C languages as well. If you happen to be focusing in any particular side of Machine Learning , I recommend looking at the website http://airesources.org/ . It is a huge database of machine learning and AI resources that includes data and code from various Machine Learning projects. It clearly organizes different types of Machine Learning and if you are focusing on a specific type, you can gather which language is used most often.

The most popular machine learning frameworks seem to be TensorFlow and PyTorch. These are both based on Python.

Recently tried both these frameworks: Tensorflow is nothing like Python, it's like another language embedded in Python. Pytorch has much more 'Python-like' syntax, if you're familiar with numpy, Pytorch will be simple. However, the community support for Pytorch is currently paltry compared to Tensorflow. Either way, Python is a good start.

I don't think the language matters as much as learning the fundamental concepts of ML though.

There is a great series of lectures by Andrew Ng at Stanford University: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLssT5z_DsK-h9vYZkQkYNWcItqhlRJLN

He starts from pretty much nothing and quickly builds up to a pretty good level of detail of most aspects of ML.

Also available on Coursera, if you want a more structured approach with tests of your understanding, etc: https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning/home/welcome
