I'm not a hiring expert in AI, so take the advice of folks who are deeper in the industry than I if they comment.

If you're trying to work on the next GPT-4, you'll probably need some formal education as a foundation, or a lot of experience that paves the way into AI. Those type of products will be highly competitive and looking for specialists with deep subject matter expertise.
If you're looking to adapt AI for B2C or B2B product features, you don't need a formal education, you can get into software engineering roles that perform this by simply building up experience over time.
You're going to need to develop more than just hard skills to get a career role in technology - AI or otherwise. Keep that in mind.
