The course also features online lectures on weekends conducted by BITS Pilani faculty.

The course will focus on AI application areas such as natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, robotics and cyber security with software application and associated system support with implementation beyond data science using tools and technologies like Tensorflow for Deep Learning, Python libraries, OpenCV for computer vision, NLTK for NLP.

Professor Anita Ramachandran, head of the computer science and information system group of WILP at BITS Pilani, emphasised the importance of the course and said that the subjects and electives of the programme are designed to aid the comprehensive development of knowledge and skills and familiarise ML engineers with algorithms such as supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning along with application areas like NLP, computer vision, robotics, and cyber security.

Professor Ramachandran added that this program will help engineers better understand the underlying ethical issues in applying AI and ML.

According to reports, the global AI market was valued at USD 65.48 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 1581.7 billion in value by 2030.
