                  Artificial Intelligence has grown to be very popular in today’s world. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a wide-ranging branch of computer science concerned with building smart machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These machines are able to learn with experience and perform human-like tasks. As technologies such as AI continue to grow, they will have a great impact on our quality of life. It’s but natural that everyone today wants to connect with AI technology somehow, may it be as an end-user or pursuing a career in Artificial Intelligence. 

               AI has emerged as a leading technology used in the Booming areas like Machine Learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT) and Data analytics. Currently available academic curriculum is not much enough to fulfil the requirement of Skills needed for AI in Industry. This course will offer required skills and hands-on experience in AI to candidate and professionals; this will increase the employability opportunity for candidate and bridge the gap of Skilled Human requirement for Industry.
