Several programming languages can be suited for AI and each have a their advantages. I assume that by best you means you are saying which can be used very easily to program AI.
In that case, Python would be the best choice for an AI. It is simple, easy to learn, lesser development time, supports Object oriented, functional and procedure oriented style of programming. Also Python has a huge number of libraries which would come in handy while programming.
I would also go with Python, but as Maria pointed there are different programming languages each have their own Pros and Cons to be considered for AI programming.
Python – Obviously the first choice for AI programming as it is much simpler and more practical versions of libraries like Tensorflow, numpy, VTK, Simple AI
R – R programming is suitable for AI projects with analyzing and manipulating objectives. It is most widely used in the field of ML and AI for their mathematical capabilities and libraries.
Prolog – Prolog consists of a small, flexible and well-built programming framework which works around a group of mechanisms.
Java – When you look for a suitable programming language for any project, Java should be considered because of its familiarity and easy to use features. Java being OOP language which is used for AI algorithm, it is also one of the choices for AI programming.
At last C++ – It may sound a bit old, but no other programming language can match the execution speed of C++. When speed is necessary for the AI project C++ can be considered.
