Yes, if you want to be a software developer (make lots of programs), software engineering would be a good focus. Another good option is human computer interaction, but that's going to be less technical and more important if you plan to focus on the User Interface aspects of coding. If you want to program things that other people use, it may be a good idea to do both focuses.

AI is a glorified term for a whole bunch of math, but basically the idea around the field is to get a computer to think and solve problems autonomously (on it's own). Traditionally AI was into mimicking human thinking process, but the field has moved away from that into a lot of statistical algorithms.
