There's actually a companion book called "Paradigms of Artificial
Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp", with code
examples written in Common Lisp.

While in theory it is possible to write AI programs in any programming
language, it is much easier to write them in a high level programming
language, I mean Lisp, Prolog, Haskell, etc.

There are courses both literature and videos available on the web.
Use google video.
and have a look at http://ocw.mit.edu/

one!), but it is easy to learn from either the standard tutorial or
dive into python http://www.diveintopython.org/ and it is a great tool
to have in your box.
The aima website http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/ links to python code
http://code.google.com/p/aima-python/
With your python skills ready Programming Collective Intelligence is a
super practical read http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529321
PAIP http://norvig.com/paip.html is an excellent book, he introduces
Common Lisp in chapter one. If you want to go deeper into CL check
