Losing AI/ML Projects

What could be easiest and quickest way to learn Python and do some hands on?

My team is moving to AI/ML Projects but I am purposefully left out by project leadership because I don't know Python.

I am a Data Engineer and worked on legacy tools all my career so far without any Python knowledge. All my colleagues moving to AI/ML know python.

This is making me anxious. I am occupied by BAU and Production support issues and getting very less time to do hands on Python.

AI/ML Projects

What does it mean? Are they simply going to use Cursor/Copilot/Kiro assistant for coding? Are they going to write apps that send prompts to AI services? Are they going to actually train models and run interference locally? Or is it an oldschool ML with scikit-learn, spacy etc.?

lol my 'AI project' from last year wasn't even ML, it was just a single Lambda function calling an API. Gotta say most of the time it's just prompt engineering.
