University of Hyderabad begins first online AI, Machine Learning diploma course
The basic objective of the course is to offer skill-based, tailor-made courses that can enhance the industry-ready abilities among graduates and working professionals.
The University of Hyderabad (UoH) and AAIC Technologies Pvt Ltd will jointly be offering an online Diploma in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (DAI&ML) through the Centre for Distance and Virtual Learning (CDVL), with the help of faculty from the School of Computer and Information Sciences (SCIS).
NITI Aayog member VK Saraswat virtually inaugurated the first batch of the course on Saturday. The basic objective of the course is to offer skill-based, tailor-made courses that can enhance the industry-ready abilities among graduates and working professionals.
"So far, AI has primarily been used by the private sectors for commercial usage. The mission of the government is to make AI accessible to all the sectors of society," said Dr Saraswat. He informed the participants that the government has decided to integrate AI in healthcare, agriculture, education, smart cities and infrastructure, and smart mobility and transportation to benefit the most.
To enjoy the fruits of AI-based tools, we need to remove a few barriers. Lack of human expertise in research and AI application, access to intelligent data, and the absence of a collaborative approach to AI adoption and application are few, he said.
Meanwhile, UoH signed a memorandum of understanding with ESI Medical College and Hospital for a period of five years. According to the reports, the collaboration is done to facilitate academic and research activities. The MoU was signed in the presence of the Vice-Chancellor, University of Hyderabad, Professor P Appa Rao by the Registrar, University of Hyderabad, P Sardar Singh and the Dean and Director of ESIMCH, Professor M Srinivas. The vision and objectives behind the signing of the MoU are to initiate joint academic programmes and researches, exchanging faculty members and giving exposure to the students of both institutes to shared resources.
