IIT-Hyderabad first to launch B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence

IIT-Hyderabad is all set to launch a full-fledged B.Tech program in Artificial Intelligence from the coming academic year (2019-20). With this, the institute has become the first Indian institute to offer full-time B.Tech course in Artificial Intelligence and third in the world after Carnegie Mellon University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), both of which are in the U.S. Initially, the course will have an intake of 20 students. The institute also said that the mission of the Department of Artificial Intelligence, IIT Hyderabad, is to produce students who have a sound understanding of the fundamentals,theory and practical aspects of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. The program will help the students in becoming leaders in industry and academia nationally and internationally and enable them to meet the pressing demands of the nation in the field of AI and machine learning. "The basic aim is to create a complete ecosystem for Artificial Intelligence Academics and Research at IIT Hyderabad. This involves B.Tech., M.Tech. and different Minor Programs in AI. Moreover, the R&D will be strongly entwined with academics," Prof U.B. Desai, Director, IIT Hyderabad, said. The institute is already offering M.Tech program in Artificial Intelligence- Machine Learning. "AI solutions are particularly promising for India (given the availability of a large corpus of data) where it can have a major positive impact on several critical domains such as healthcare, crop and soil management, weather prediction, surveillance and security, and defence. Long term and robust solutions to problems in these domains require a systematic and disciplined approach that is rooted in the fundamentals of AI. However, the demand for professionals trained in this area far exceeds the current supply. The BTech program in AI is a step in the direction of addressing this highly skewed demand-supply scenario," said Dr. Sumohana Channappayya, Dean (Research and Development)
