You don’t even need an undergraduate degree—I believe basic understanding is enough to do it.

AI is not something humans invented; it is something that must be “discovered” as it develops.
AI’s foundation is mathematics—its underlying source defines the universe. As long as human beings begin to ponder mathematics, from the moment people understood that 1+1=2 tens of thousands of years ago, AI is destined to be born in the future.
Like a seed buried in the soil, given sunlight and water, it will sprout; all genetic programming has long been written inside the seed.
Once AI is given computing power and electricity, it will naturally appear. This isn’t a human “invention”—it’s a “discovery” that will inevitably occur in the universe’s exploration.
