Depends really. Have you got prior coding experience? The semantics of certain languages are much easier to pick up if you've had prior experience, but it might seem impossible to someone who has minimal experience.

If you think you've got enough experience to quickly understand and pick up things, then I'd probably say R is a good language to start with. It's very well-suited for AI and tends to be a favourite for AI researchers.
