> Whenever I see these kinds of video processing on real time, I just want to drop everything and work on that.
Personally, I find AI too much of a "fuzzy black box" thing to be really interested in it. I have to agree that the applications are often truly marvelous. But the fact that, for example, training neural nets is often more of an art than a science is holding me back to step into the field.
I like to work on a problem, think it through, and be 99% sure that it will work before I have even written one line of code. With AI, it is more like "let's try this and see if it works".

That's because artificial intelligence is subject to eternally moving goalposts. Any technology which we are fully able to understand ceases to be intelligent; it is relegated to the status of mere "algorithm".
We understand machine learning itself, it's the problem space that needs to be understood. That's why it is such a black box - you never know the complexity of the model you need to build before you tackle it.
Yes, the truly interesting models are hard to analyze but, to paraphrase, if intelligence was simple enough that we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't.
