Artificial Intelligence IIT Gandhinagar

Overview

The Bachelor of Artificial Intelligence at IIT Gandhinagar curriculum is designed to be flexible to adapt to a rapidly changing field. The curriculum is designed to give students enough leeway to specialize in any of the subfields of AI, i.e. students should be able to train themselves in the relevant AI techniques, choose a domain, and then use the AI techniques to synthesize novel questions and applications in their domain of interest.

Over the last few years, the number of faculty in different disciplines working on applications of AI in their respective domains has significantly increased. Familiarity with AI concepts, to various extents, is in high demand both in the industry as well in the government sector. It is therefore proposed that a major in Artificial Intelligence be established at the Institute.

Key facts

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an area that spans multiple disciplines and impacts almost every sphere of life. It is widely agreed that AI has the potential to have a large impact on “the human condition”, making it imperative that engineers of tomorrow are trained in the scientific, engineering, as well as sociological aspects of AI. AI, by its nature, is a multidisciplinary subject, both in terms of the set of techniques needed to develop it as well as the set of fields it has interactions with. Broadly speaking, we can understand it as the study of strategies that harness data collection and computation in order to enhance and empower human capabilities.
