Moving from accounting to AI is bold and I kindly suggest you think it a bit:
1. Why don't you move upon what you already have in the field of accounting? Accounting is still a good career field. You may be able to achieve a similar result within accounting field with only a half or a quarter of the effort you may need for the success in AI. If I were you I would expand my knowledge areas and abilities to be become an expert, specialist, manager, CFO,.... That would be much easier and more enjoyable than going down route to AI. Unless you don't like your job and enjoy studying.
2. I almost think moving from accounting to AI is a waste of your 10 years investment in time, effort, perhaps money for that career.
Just my thoughts and hope it turns out to be a help.

不是打击你，有些东西是不容易学的。不过你很励志
而不是换专业。学 AI的人大把，比你年轻，你你的优势势在哪？
职员部门跨国跨族裔跨大陆洲是极普遍的现象，所以非英语母语的人领导英语母语的人或是其他语种的人是越来越普遍的.
我的总体意思是: 不要因为英语能力差些就畏怯了,做管理者考量的是综合能力,取长补短，未必就不可行.
况且年龄只是适合统计，不能说明个案。不管从精力还是好奇心，我都不承认我有年龄劣势。
几个考试高分能填平的沟壑。非母语的人可以雇母语的人做语言方面的工。但是不可能随时都带个人。而且那样的人很快会上位的。当然我同意不要因为语言问题而畏惧。但是语言始终会给一代移民打折扣
其实你仔细看看senior management的communications，没有几个长篇大论，废话连篇的, 基本都是几个要点，简单直接。
有的时候，国人习惯于把“语言不行”作为自己的挡箭牌，呵呵
但我觉得我擅长处理人际关系，却没有机会去做管理。
我又觉得我对数字敏感，于是想去搞人工智能。有时候真不知道对自己的判断准不准。
总之，谢谢你！
上个月我们VP org structure变更，负责这方面的人还专门跟我们这些相关人员联系了解，就是为了整理后发表统一的announcement的。这些职位，确实都是英语是母语的，而且口头笔头都不能差的人来担当的。
更别说管理他人了。但这跟达到长篇大论大写文章，还是区别很大的。
我一年不行就俩年，俩年不行就三年，三年不行就四年，总有一天会成的。没想到上帝仅让我用了一年的时间就成了。
我也在学习AI，不过我本来就是EECS本行，一直在做系统研发，有点温习旧的补充新的。学习起来还算轻松，但年纪大了记忆力差了，需要不断地使用才能巩固住。另外基于深度学习的AI使得学习门槛没有那么高，有点数学基础就可以上手，很多计算机科学领域的积累反而可以略过，其实大家都可以试一试！
跟你一样，我也是特别喜欢学习的， 全职工作，半職讀書，去年博士畢業了。現在準備再拿一個AI的graduate certificate. 因為讀書都是可以有tuition waive的。
我觉得與其從最開始學起，不如找到你到底要用AI的哪個方面，因為你不可能一個人从最开始到最好完全承包一个AI的产品。比如说我，我感兴趣的是人机对话，用于教育，所以我就到 Amazon Alexa, 和讯飞的开放平台，学习如何用他们已有的 code 做成我所需要的产品。
大家一起共勉～～～
这个行业是蛮好的，每天有很多学习，不停地补充新的知识。但是想要比别人做得好就不是很容易了，但是如果本身性格外向情商高，在哪里都可以做头头的。
